Photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank discusses his lifelong work of creating images and reminisces about his collaborations with famous actors and musicians.

Andrea Gronvall

Chicago Reader

...director Fox let his subject lead too much of the way, and the film's resulting stream-of-consciousness shapelessness could easily confuse any viewer who knew little or nothing about Frank and his works going in.

Rated: 2.5/4

As filmic visits with cherished masters go, Fox's has been well worth the wait.

More than anything, the doc lives up to its name as a portrait of the photographer in his old age.

Maven's Nest

In 2004, Fox interviewed Frank while they visited the past and present, through locales and then 80-year-old's extensive personal archives...Brings his art to new eyes.

Rated: 8/10

I can see why Frank was uncomfortable with people seeing Leaving Home, Coming Home, but it's also valuable bit of insight and a well made documentary.

Rated: 7.5/10

We are caught as are the characters in a world of fantastical landscapes and indelible settings and obdurate women: it is an icy age.
