A beautiful, probing art documentary.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Most of Goldsworthy's work is impermanent, but Rivers and Tides captures, permanently, both the art and the artist, showing us a creative, productive life in the process of being well-lived.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

The artistry of Thomas Riedelsheimer's film perfectly compliments Goldsworthy's art.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

[Goldsworthy's] art is meant to be evanescent, like the nature he reveres. We are privileged to see it documented by the filmmaker's camera.

Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

Assumes a meditative, Zen-like quality that sends the viewer floating away, like a leaf.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
