What are critics saying?

Slant Magazine by Clayton Dillard

The documentary is an attempt to capture something of Akerman's infectious spirit and thirst for worldly experience, as both an artist and a human being.

The A.V. Club by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

Ironic, given what a deeply personal filmmaker she could be, that the film that best shows her brilliant intellect and insight isn’t her own.

The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold

Ms. Lambert’s film builds nicely, staying in tune with the ordinariness and intimacy explored in Ms. Akerman’s boldly rendered films.

Boston Globe by Peter Keough

Akerman, though, is her own best spokesperson as she discusses her films at locations where they were shot.

Los Angeles Times by Sheri Linden

Within the doc's brief running time, Lambert sculpts a discerning overview of the artist and her filmography.
