The documentary emphasizes Reine Paradis's technique and success, with commentary from the artist and her director/husband. Her art recalls David Hockney yet distinctive in its own right. And, by far, it's the artist's oeuvre that warrants viewing this film.

I absolutely love how this film captures the behind the scenes of the work of the artist and her work, both I greatly admire. This documentary allowed me to witness the journey of this artist, both in her studio, and out on location, including the real challenges and hardships along the way. The editing and filming is excellent, receiving several invitations and awards at many highly recognized film festivals around the world. A very inspiring film beyond the art world, truly a must see documentary for anyone.

Queen of Paradis takes you into the mind of an artist as she searches for the perfect "Paradise" to create her art. Taking the journey alongside Reine will lead you down the path of adventure and looking for more. The film captures Reine's entire story and doesn't shy away from sharing both the good and difficult moments faced throughout. Balanced between telling the story and allowing it to unfold naturally, the film leaves you with a story that gives texture to her and her art.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A documentary about art making and finding inspiration. Very well crafted, the movie is more an inspirational movie about creation and finding your path than on the artist herself, even though Reine Paradis is an talented and inspiration herself. A must-see for the art lovers out there and people who need a boost of creativity!

Elements of Madness

The finished documentary, titled Queen of Paradis, does more than present how Paradis creates the photo series, it demonstrates how each piece is profoundly personal in its conception.

Rated: 4/5

A surprising gem of a film. Though perhaps unknowing in its intrusions, an interesting mix of talent featuring the complex artistry of Reine Paradis and her talented filmmaker husband Carl Lindstrom.
