What are critics saying?
It’s less than the sum of its attractive parts, with scant overall insight or weight. Like an old handmade sweater, this is a movie that might unravel too easily if you gave any single element a hard tug.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Setting out to show the range of expression found in a field of craft it feels is too often dismissed as a trivial women's pastime, Una Lorenzen's Yarn showcases four artists doing things with crochet your spinster great-aunt probably never imagined.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
It’s an inspiring portrait of a truly feminist mode of art.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
It isn’t perfect — it’s a little too airy and artsy in spots — but still, thread and string should be jealous.
