Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Aug 12, 2018
There is something almost pagan to the earth magic of Goldsworthy's work; through his eyes we reconnect with an elemental quality in the world around us that, somewhere along the line, we lost the ability to see. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Aug 10, 2018
4/5
This is a hypnotic and beguiling documentary portrait of the 62-year-old site-specific land artist Andy Goldsworthy... Sit back, relax and, in the most literal way possible, watch an artist at work. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Aug 10, 2018
4/5
A friend who watched this with me said that it's the kind of film she'd like to see again when she's dying. That pretty much nails its meditative, melancholy tone... Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Jun 3, 2020
The vulnerability on display is so raw and beautiful, you almost feel compelled to turn away. Go to Full Review Felicia Feaster Burnaway.org Jan 16, 2020
It is clear from watching Leaning Into the Wind that, for Goldsworthy, the labor, the action is as much a pleasure as the concept or the end result. Go to Full Review Bedatri D. Choudhury Hyperallergic Jan 8, 2019
Goldsworthy's art is driven by an awareness of instability and mortality, which makes it a profound celebration of the present, of life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jun 1, 2020 The first "volume", RIVERS AND TIDES, provided more insights into Goldsworthy and his work---WIND ain't too shabby by any means and is defnitely recommended See more david g @RT65088578 Aug 17, 2019 I know I'm supposed to like this. As much as I appreciate and like his art, the film is deadly dull. See more Apr 13, 2018 A wonderful perspective on Goldworthy's work and outlook on life, nature and art. See more Mar 17, 2018 The only people who might enjoy this are those who are stoned off their gourds. It was so boring that, after 35 minutes, the prospect of another hour was just unbearable, and we left. See more Mar 13, 2018 Saw this last night at the Lagoon. What a masterpiece. HArd ot imagine doing justice to this artist but this film is utterly enchanting in the same way that his work is. A remarkable achievement of film making, editing and scoring. Go see it!!
