Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

Mass commits the lazy doc sin of over-interviewing - dozens of talking heads fly by in just the first few minutes - which blurs the portrait in a soup of repeated comments as you try to assess who knew her and who's just pontificating.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

The Incomparable Rose Hartman doesn't quite make the case for lengthily profiling its irascible and not particularly interesting subject.

TheWrap

Mass makes good use of Hartman's archival images, keeping things flowing with a steady stream of glittery nostalgia. But what's especially interesting is the striking ambivalence of her peers.

HuffPost

Never less than entertaining, 'The Incomparable' has Hartman relentlessly promoting her latest book, being pushy at art exhibits, and haranguing her director, "You don't know how to do your job."

David Noh

Film Journal International

This ambitiously named doc reaffirms that it was its subject's sharp elbows, as well as her photographs, which were the making of her.
