Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict "A fragmentary but engaging documentary portrait of Meredith Monk, trailblazing icon of New York City's experimental arts and music scene." Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Shebar pays tribute to Monk’s daring with a lively and appropriately offbeat biography of the artist, who was ultimately vindicated in time when what once confounded critics about her work was seen as unique and innovative. Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International While there are points at which you wish the directors would dig a little deeper in their questioning of Monk... fans will welcome this up-close look at her. Their approach also makes it an accessible introduction for newcomers to Monk’s oeuvre. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
