It's inspiring to see a unique talent finally get his due, even if - or maybe because - it took until his late 70s to get there.

Film Comment Magazine

A touch slapdash, repetitive, indulgent, and yet compelling, mainly because its subject is so troublingly, excessively odd.

The Hollywood Reporter

It's a portrait of the artist as a charmingly uncompromising septuagenarian.

...a compelling, thoughtful, and sometimes hilarious depiction of the myriad factors weighing down a paintbrush as it struggles to meet a canvas.

Rated: 4/5

The finest documentary about an artist I have ever seen. Folkes is an original and every minute spent in his company will remind you why true geniuses have a hard time in an art world more commodified than McDonalds fast food.

This is a great film about a quirky, sometime-famous artist. The filmmakers skillfully weave an entertaining and insightful film about the tortured process of creation. A must see for any fan of art.
