(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Page   1   3/4 "The enthusiasm Harris devotes to his subject matter leaves one with a positive impression of both the film and himself."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger B+ "This is a superior film based on the troubled life and career of Abstract Expressionist artist and manic-depressive Jackson Pollock."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B+ "Among the many pictures made about painters ... it stands out for its intelligence, economy and superlative acting."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A riveting biodrama that presents ten years in the turbulent life of the controversial and self-destructive founder of action painting."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Other than depicting his wild mood swings, there's not too much to this cinematic representation of Pollock."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Thanks to some terrific performances and a solid debut from Harris behind the camera, the film turns out to be an interesting and engaging experience."   Screen It!   Jim Judy "Almost good enough to transcend the typical tale of a tortured artist."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B "While Ed Harris captures the all the surfaces of Jackson Pollock, his subject remains an enigma."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "Passion can easily lead to self-indulgence, and that is certainly the unfortunate case here."   Film Threat   Michael Dequina 4/5 "Harris, Harden, and Madigan are all outstanding, and the film, while flawed, is engrossing and impressive."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/4 "Harris' painting technique is so convincing you really think you are watching Pollock at work. The rest of the film works well enough, but it is fairly slow going."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "A precise, deliberate movie, so carefully calibrated in its tone and structure that, as a whole, it ends up reading like a completely well-intentioned lack of guts."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3.5/4 Read review   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers B Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
