Jeremy Eichler Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Steve Smith Time Out Rated: 5/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au Hicks the fan never gets in the way of Hicks the documentarian - he paints Glass as a musical genius but also as the eccentric, fiery, temperamental artist he can be. Aug 9, 2010 Full Review Jeffrey Chen ReelTalk Movie Reviews Doesn't necessarily reveal the insight behind the composer's unique brand of music so much as display the working mode of a passionate artist. Rated: 7/10 Aug 22, 2009 Full Review Christopher Long Movie Metropolis Hicks avoids many of the pitfalls of artist portraits by grounding the musician firmly in every day reality.

Audience Member http://filmreviewsnsuch.blogspot.com/2012/09/glass-portrait-of-philip-in-twelve-parts.html Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An utterly superb, often hilarious, hugely informative study of the world's greatest working composer. Astonishing and touching, Glass is every bit as affable, intelligent and enigmatic as his superb, varied, mathematically structured compositions would lead you to believe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary focuses on Philipp Glass's personal life while I actually expected to see more of the struggling process of his composing work and stuff. Still, this is a quite interesting piece as one still gets to listen to Glass's music. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful portrait of Phillip Glass, beautifully told and very revealing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Phillip Glass is a genius and his life and work are so inspiring. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Fav! Awesome doco about an awesome composer! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
