2.5/4
Diverting as Glaser is being retrospective, it's so much more interesting -- not to mention truer to his achievement -- watching him being creative. Go to Full Review Kenneth Baker San Francisco Chronicle 06/19/2009

...will leave an audience feeling both lightened and illuminated. Go to Full Review Joe Neumaier New York Daily News 05/22/2009
3/4
Collaborators testify to the continuing influence of Glaser, now almost 80, but seeing is believing in director Wendy Keys' pleasantly conversational documentary. Expect to mutter "He made that too?" at least a dozen times. Go to Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 05/01/2010
88/100
a wonderfully intelligent portrait of a surprisingly verbal visual artist. At 80, Glaser is a wise and ever engaged advocate for improving the worldthrough stylistic invention. Go to Full Review Jerry Portwood New York Press 05/27/2009
Unfortunately, the portrait first-time director Wendy Keys paints of the 80-year-old is more about myth building than anything else. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 05/24/2009
8.0/10
An illuminating, compelling and well-focused documentary. Just like Milton Glaser's artworks, it concurrently informs and delights. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/31/2012 I enjoyed this doc quite a bit, and was surprised to see that Glaser was responsible for the I Heart NY design, which hasn't made him rich, but rather proud that art can inspire others through its reappropriation. See more 09/01/2011 What an inspiring artist. See more 08/01/2011 Milton Glaser's omnipresence in New York city is uncanny. See more 05/30/2009 Interesting subject! Helvetica and Objectified are better movies. Q+A with filmmaker added to overall film viewing experience -- her first film. Maybe next time she won't be seen on film asking questions. Worth seeing.
