What to Know

Critics Consensus

Exhibition flouts convention with its untrained stars and impressionistic narrative; thankfully, writer-director Joanna Hogg ties it all together into an intimate, beautifully shot drama.

Peter Keough Boston Globe Hogg maintains a probing detachment and a cold intimacy. As befits the title, she presents her subjects like specimens in an exhibit, with a rigorously structured style that is non-judgmental and unsparing. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 28, 2014 Full Review Jessica Kiang The Playlist It's a very brave and unapologetically cerebral approach to have taken, but it often feels like there's just too little there, too few life rings thrown to the average, non-art-student viewer, to keep us engaged. Rated: C Aug 24, 2014 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times If "Exhibition" lacks conventionally developed characters and dialogue, it is visually enthralling. Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Dustin Chang ScreenAnarchy Without much expositional dialog, Hogg paints the complicated picture of relationship brilliantly using other means. The result is exceptional. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro A work that's tedious to the point of abstraction, and follows a through-line of rhetorical obviousness you can trace to Hogg's previous films - in particular, Unrelated. Rated: 1/5 Nov 18, 2018 Full Review Gerald Peary Arts Fuse Seeing Exhibition is like spying through a window on our most glamorous neighbors moving about their flat: it's kind of kinky, kind of fun.

CJ S Upper middle class artsy folk being artsy folk and talking about being artsy. A solid exploration of marriage, sex, and belonging told via a sympathetic woman and a deeply unlikeable man. Although a little pretentious, very good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Simultaneously boring and pretentious Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Nope. One star for Hiddles. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Two middle-aged artists live in a modernist house in Chelsea and occasionally converse with each other whilst revealing their underlying neuroses. The wife 'D' she is somewhat more insecure than her husband. She lacks confidence in her own ideas and ability as an artist, and wonders if her husband still loves her. Into this mix comes feelings of insecurity at the prospect of selling up the house which she has become so emotionally attached to (perhaps like the child she can't have?). The film has a sort of fly on the wall feel, as though someone left a camcorder running in your well-to-do neighbour's house, however very little actually happens. Even by art-house standards this turns out to be quite a dull and uneventful film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is typical of Hoggs films and as good as all her others. Albertine and Gillick both not known as actors are excellant in a story of a house sale and the marriage of the couple that own it. Slow laborious and well made Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hogg maintains a probing detachment and a cold intimacy. As befits the title, she presents her subjects like specimens in an exhibit, with a rigorously structured style that is non-judgmental and unsparing.
