Artist Eva Hesse utilizes latex, fiberglass and plastics to create pioneering sculptures in the 1960s.

John Semley

Globe and Mail

Overstuffed with biographical details and taking-head interviews with friends and hangers-on, it's over-didactic and dull.

Rated: 1/4

"Eva Hesse" is a remarkable film about an even more remarkable artist, a woman who playfully and resolutely turned the world of sculpture inside out.

The documentary immerses us in Hesse's inner monologue, lending great emotional depth and complexity to someone who was both very sensitive and very thoughtful.

Amazing doc for so many reasons. A picture of commitment as an artist--exploration, development, ambition, resilience. This is a doc for every artist who wants to understand how,why,who,what,where--what art asks of you. Beautifully written and edited, wise choices were made throughout. Great to see so may interviewed and what they thought about Eva. I could go on and on and on....

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
