This documentary follows artist Kiki Smith as she prepares an eight-room installation of sculptures, drawings and furniture for the 2005 Venice Biennale, a major artistic event. With the help of assistants who realize her plans, the film documents every step of the process as Smith works from concept to execution while discussing her upbringing and ideas about art. Arriving in Venice, Italy, Smith's team goes to work preparing the exhibition for public viewing.

Boston Globe

The film at times seems like a comic opera. It's no surprise that it all comes together in the end.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

Ms. Smith's vision is sketched on a napkin, and her approach to executing it is something like an act of surrender.

Rated: 3/5
