Review

Sight and Sound, 03/01/2007, p.82, "[O]ne of the all-time great films made about an artist and artistic creation, its gorgeously textured visuals and contrapuntal editing effortlessly knitting together extreme psychological states, complex social relations and the play of memory."

Premiere, 04/01/2006, p.98, "[A]stonishing.....A very powerful work of what Watkins calls 'living history' and the greatest film about an artist since Tarkovsky's ANDREI RUBLEV."

Total Film, 11/01/2007, p.137, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Watkins shows how Munch's style grew out of his own anguished life."
