Aaron Hillis Village Voice Tastelessly hyper-stylized... Sep 25, 2007 Full Review Paul Schrodt Slant Magazine True to its title, My Name Is Alan and I Paint Pictures sees the world through its subject's childlike eyes. Rated: 2/4 Sep 23, 2007 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Times There is no shortage of documentaries about mentally ill artists, but My Name Is Alan and I Paint Pictures finds a fresh way into the subject. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A shockingly formulaic film on a unique artist. The focus is put far too much on individual commentary than on showcasing the work. The use of quotes from artists as interstitial breaks is horribly trite and lends a rudimentary and simplistic tone to the overall film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member AMAZING artist. Wonderful film; I recommend it to anyone who paints or is otherwise an art lover. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
