Adrian (Adam Goldberg) is an avant-garde music composer whose poorly attended concerts contrast wildly with his brother Josh's (Eion Bailey) great success as a commercial artist. Adrian's luck appears to change when Josh introduces him to Madeleine (Marley Shelton), an art dealer who sells Josh's work. Adrian and Madeleine begin a torrid affair, but when Josh learns about the relationship and Madeleine stops exhibiting his artwork, the stage is set for a showdown between siblings.

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

Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody.

Rated: B

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

Jonathan Parker's art spoof is witty and sharply observed, and makes good use of its talented leads...

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.

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.

Quite eccentric. Quiet. Subtle. Just like its own storyline...

Skewering satire of the New York art scene. Great fun.

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.
