All The Beauty and The Bloodshed - Anmeldelser

Som værk løfter ’All the Beauty and the Bloodshed’ sig både i kraft af sin harmdirrende aktivistiske energi og sin tragiske dimension.

...er et mesterstykke i sin kombination af person- og generationsportræt, kulturanalytisk undersøgelse og aktivistisk partindlæg...

...et suverænt portræt af kunstneren som aktivist.

...a damning indictment of the US pharmaceutical industry and a touching look at a familial tragedy.

The film plays so as to exponentially grow the viewer’s appreciation for the socio-political and artistic anomaly that is Goldin, and Poitras doesn’t need to do much convincing: Goldin is narrating

...a profound film, but it is also a good deal of fun (provided you are not too uptight.)

...a tremendous documentary, a striking piece of work that is so tender yet biting.

What becomes clear from the film, which vividly details the cultural backdrop as well as Goldin’s work, is that fear has never been part of Goldin’s vocabulary, either creatively or personally.

...Goldin shows that maybe there is always more bloodshed than beauty.

Laura Poitras levels up with a devastating work of shocking intelligence and still greater emotional power.

...an urgent portrait of the genuinely life-saving power of art, to honour and remember the dead, and demand that the living do more.

...en både fascinerande, hypnotisk och gripande tripp när Goldin öppnar minnesportalen på vid gavel...

Den amerikanska fotografen Nan Goldin porträtteras i en ny dokumentär som prisats i Venedig.
