Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Assembled from the photographs, paintings and audio and video journals that Wojnarowicz recorded for most of his life, this impassioned personal testament should continue the work of the Whitney Museum's celebrated 2018 retrospective in amplifying a radical voice that remains urgent and relevant." - 11/09/2020 Hollywood Reporter


"Directed by Chris McKim, this exemplary documentary on the artist takes advantage of Wojnarowicz’s penchant for self-documentation, drawing on the cassette journals he began keeping even before he was a fully formed creator." - 03/18/2021 New York Times


"The film is near-spiritual in its devotion to the archive of Woj’s existence, troubling and blurring the boundaries of nonfiction, as a form in itself, in order to capture the spirit of a boundary-breaking artist." - 06/30/2021 Rolling Stone
