      Andrea W The more I learn about art, the more I appreciate and admire anyone who is able to express themselves in such a way. There are so many things to discover within the life of this mysterious man; one could spend days researching the depths to the connection he made to the world and humanity. This film begs continued reading and research. It is emotional, provocative, fulfilling, interesting, etc. etc. etc. Anyone who has any curiosities in the realm of art, history and/or anthropology, should certainly spend some time with Szukalski. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review JR C Excellent insight into the mind of a true artist (and quite a character). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Audience Member A really incredible watch & insight into the bizarre life & personality of the most famous sculptor & artist, That You've Never Heard Of. Incredible Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review aqsw d A very talented artist. The definition of a true artist. Peel away all the idiots - the friends - the documentary personnel. Szukalski stands on his own. He is not a god of art. He is a human being with all the built-in defects. He "is" very talented. I believe he has a good heart. I just hope he is a Christian, the key. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Captivating! I couldn't sleep the rest of the night...so stunned by the genius! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The most absolute stunning film that breaks and wows my heart of an utterly astonishing and unique sculptor artist. What a fascinating individual. "You asked me where I learned anatomy from? I learned from my father." Harrowingly beautiful. I love this documentary film and I'm so sorry to hear that his artwork is being used in Europe for ideologies he no longer supports. I bawled my eyes out at the ending and of his passing.

      Karen Han New York Times A title like "Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski" suggests a breadth and depth that's difficult to live up to, which makes it all the more remarkable that this Netflix documentary by Irek Dobrowolski manages to deliver.
