2.5/4
...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. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 06/06/2019
As filmic visits with cherished masters go, Fox's has been well worth the wait. Go to Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 05/30/2019
