Thomas M The best documentary movie ever made! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/22 Full Review Audience Member it entirely depends on how big a fan of Stanley Kubrick you are as to what rating you wold give this film. For me, 3 stars as i am a big fan of some of his films. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Glorious tribute to arguably the greatest film Director of all time. Kubricks oeuvre consists of at least 3 masterpieces 2001 A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, the best examples of Kubricks obsessive nature. The documentary is fascinating looking at his life through the eyes of directors, actors and friends who knew his work intimately. There are insights into how he created the film's and also a look at his private life. It's a must for any Kubrick devotee. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot has been reported about Kubrick in the past, and it feels like the agenda of A Life in Pictures is to set the record straight (particularly in regards to his personal life.) In that way I think this film is somewhat successful. It has pictures and stories of Kubrick being a loving family man and perfectly social, instead of gruff and reclusive. However this film is not willing to stay in that niche, instead it heads down a familiar path and just walks through the career of Kubrick. Film by film it takes us on this journey, and because he directed so few movies we basically get a chapter for each one. It makes the documentary overly long, and it wanders into very familiar territory you could probably see on any of his films’ DVD special features. I’ll applaud A Life in Pictures for one thing, it made me want to watch more Kubrick movies and to revisit the ones I’ve seen. I think if they had focused this documentary a little more instead of trying to talk about everything it would have been better, but it was still informative. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic look at the greatest filmmaker of all time! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent examination of an excellent artist. "A life in pictures" depicts every moment in Stanley Kubrick´s life, with testimony of people who knew him, from school mates to actors. This gives you a more wide perspective of who he was as a person, and as a filmmaker. Gloriously detailed work from the life of undeniably, the best movie director of all time.
