Critics Consensus

This satire on the art world is at times both clever and shallow, but its top-notch cast generates plenty of goodwill.

Ian Buckwalter NPR Writer-director Jonathan Parker sets us up for a 90-minute debate on aesthetics and artistic integrity, and that's a tedious exercise in any medium. Rated: 5.5/10 Jul 4, 2010 Full Review Eric D. Snider Film.com Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody. Rated: B Nov 21, 2009 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times The impenetrable gallery jargon is quite funny at first, and the brothers' twisted relationship is set up nicely, but the movie errs when it takes itself seriously. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 12, 2009 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Jonathan Parker's art spoof is witty and sharply observed, and makes good use of its talented leads... Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Chris Barsanti Filmcritic.com ...spry and spiky satire... Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 19, 2009 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews The characters...are wrapped up in their own perceptions of their greatness and are an odious lot. This is fitting for the film but leaves the viewer without a character to like. Rated: C+ Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

David D As someone who has observed and participated in the art world in LA and NY, I found this film to be a well done parody of the contemporary gallery scene. They lampoon conceptual art, abstract painting, taxidermy sculpture, etc. in very funny situations. You almost have to be an insider to fully appreciate some of the humor, but the script and acting are good enough that it should appeal to anyone, particularly those who have been active in the art world. It certainly deserves a higher rating than 65%. That may be due to critics not being familiar with the artists and movements being parodied. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review michael t Initially I found Untitled quite amusing in its parody of the contemporary art world, and its pretentions. As it proceeded the characters' personal idiosyncrasies came to the fore as problematic, taking away from the comic tone. It became a character study. The second phase was less endearing, more artsy, and bordering on tedious. They couldn't take themselves seriously and questioned what they were doing. The situation was left unresolved. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite eccentric. Quiet. Subtle. Just like its own storyline... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the worse movie I've ever seen!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Skewering satire of the New York art scene. Great fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member It does a good job of making fun of what passes for art but then makes you look at it long enough to appreciate it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
