Ken Eisner Georgia Straight Instead of linking the scenes in surprising ways, the filmmaker locks into a deadening format, separating them with chronologically fixed dates supported by a radio announcer... Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

ReelTalk Q Every scene is a meticulously composed tableau rich in color, shadow and stillness. The visuals do the heavy lifting but the story builds quietly in the background drawing you into Shirley's inner world as history keeps happening around her. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Looking at some beautiful paintings is one thing. But it's just inadequate, flimsy, hollow & tedious for a feature film inspired by paintings. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretentious and endless. Edward Hopper must be turning in his grave. The set designer and staff were impeccable. I would love to see the actors in something more challenging, but the writing and direction must have Hopper turning in his grave. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
