      Critics Consensus

      This affectionate, casually framed portrait of the acclaimed architect reveals him to be an engaging, likeable subject.

      Audience Member Interesting, but not so interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member director sydney pollack goes into doc territory quite successfully also loved seeing disney concert hall under construction I was on jury duty then & I spent almost all my lunch hours across the street watching it go up also went to MOCA a couple of times Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Hay una "estrella" que por un instante quiere competir con la figura de Ghery, dejándonos extasiados mientras vemos sus líneas, brillos y raras formas: el museo Guggenheim de Bilbao, la que puede considerarse su obra maestra hasta el momento. Gran obra de la arquitectura moderna destinada a exhibir arte, que como lo afirma filosófica y sabiamente uno de los entrevistados, el director Julian Schnabel, si el edificio roba la atención de los visitantes a las exposiciones de arte "es que ese arte, entonces, no es tan bueno". http://friasalex.blogspot.mx/2007/08/dvd-sketches-of-frank-ghery-12.html Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A documentary of Frank Gehry, nothing all that special. In fact its some friend of Gehry filming him with a glorified handy cam. However for the architecture lovers you could understand how Gehry goes about creating his structurally magnificent buildings. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A very truthful insight into the works of an architect and how they are created. Not mainstream media publicity. Loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A good way to get to know some of Frank Gehry's weird ideas. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Pollack is more interested in the mysteries of the creative process, and his studies of Gehry's buildings, deftly edited by Karen Schmeer, capture their dramatic sense of movement and resolution. Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Rated: 4/5 May 13, 2009 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard The result is a persuasive movie which proves beyond doubt that at least some geniuses are intensely practical as well as intuitive. Rated: 3/5 Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) Pollack is not a particularly introspective documentary maker; he is content to let his subject merely expound and ramble at length. However, in Gehry's case, this actually works. He is a good raconteur: witty and amiable. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Enrique Buchichio Uruguay Total (...) Un documental que debería ver todo aquel que alguna vez haya sentido la necesidad o las ganas de crear algo, ya sea una pieza de cerámica, un edificio o una película. Rated: 4/5 Oct 13, 2007 Full Review Total Film The questioning is skin-deep and Pollack's handheld DV approach doesn't show the buildings at their best.
