Pollack's documentary is a friendly affair that presents some stunning footage of several Gehry projects.

Wally Hammond, Time Out
Fresh

A refreshingly small-scale film, almost a home movie made by the director of such films as Tootsie, Out of Africa and The Way We Were.

Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

Not just instructive, but reassuring for anyone who does creative work, and who worries, as everyone does, about being equal to the task.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

As fascinating and faceted as its subject.

Catherine Fox, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

What the filmmaker omits are precisely the laymen the movie set out to explain Gehry to.
