Duchamp deserves better. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith National Review 07/23/2020
Only at the tail end of this documentary, after 90 minutes of deification of Duchamp and putting him on a pedestal, does one of its talking heads say, "This isn't about a kind of deification of Duchamp"... Oh. Go to Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com 03/25/2020
The Art of the Possible thoroughly tackles Duchamp's career, albeit through a traditional method at odds with its subject. Go to Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 03/18/2020
The lasting impact of Duchamp is undeniable; the film, however, is not likely to linger long in your memory. Go to Full Review Wendy Shreve Featuring Film 03/04/2020
In this new look at the Dadaist, Marcel Duchamp: The Art of the Possible (2020), Director Matthew Taylor has assembled an impressive array of international art historians/scholars to illustrate Duchamp's evolution. Go to Full Review Esme Betamax Battle Royale With Cheese 02/29/2020
Matthew Taylor's documentary is more than a potted history for art students. It is an excellent source for anyone interested in visual culture, 20th Century history, or rejecting the establishment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/10/2022 Interviews with Duchamp's stepson (Paul Matisse) are insightful and are the highlight of the film, however too much time is filled with interviews of artists and critics making unremarkable "ahead of his time and other trailblazer comments. The chirpy music overwhelms the plodding comments. It is galling that Marina Abramovic is listed as a feature because she is overshadowed by dozens of male artists who take too much air time without saying much of substance. A 40-minute cut could have worked much better. Really too bad, as Duchamp was clever and deserves more attention. See more Read all reviews
