Critics Consensus

It might be fairly standard in terms of format, but Kubrick by Kubrick still offers the rare treat of hearing the famously taciturn filmmaker address his own work.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

It’s still such a rare treat to hear the man himself say anything at all — let alone to hear him talk about why the ideas in his work and the challenges of bringing them to the screen excited him as much as they did his fans.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

“Kubrick by Kubrick” doesn’t offer much that will surprise even mild obsessives. Still, it is interesting to hear Kubrick express ideas that run counter to conventional wisdom.

Joe Clay

The Times (UK)

Hearing Kubrick speak at length about his films chips away at the idea of the director as a mysterious sage. He just sounds like an ordinary New York guy...

Vague Visages

Kubrick by Kubrick has the effect of placing the notoriously particular and media-shy subject in the room with the eager listener/viewer.

Joel Fisher

Battle Royale With Cheese

A lot of the time the documentary feels like it’s telling the audience what they already know about his career and not so much about his life.

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

A filmmaker who granted scant few interviews, Kubrick wished for his work to speak for itself. He didn’t like being asked to explain the meaning of his films or their artistic merits.

Rated: 4/5

Dinos K

one of the greatest directors of all the time. His movies were technically perfect. They didn't have enough emotional impact though, but nobody's perfect

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
