Critic Reviews

Kenneth Turan

The Vogels' story is a very specific one, at once more unexpected and more moving than it might seem at first. Read full review

Andrew Sarris

What is truly amazing, especially in this age of Ponzi schemes and the misappropriation of people’s life savings, is the fact that Herb and Dorothy have never sold a single piece in their collection. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

Watching the Vogels mull over art that they don't need to understand only makes their delight more infectious. Read full review

Walter Addiego

This easygoing movie fully captures the couple's charm and offers a unique look at the '60s and '70s New York art scene. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Seemingly limitless access is what makes the movie interesting. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Interviews with artists whom they collected testify to their sharp eye and good spirits, while the Vogels themselves, sitting in their same old apartment, overflowing as ever, make for charming company. Read full review

Philip Kennicott

You can't hate the film anymore than you can hate Herb and Dorothy. But this is lazy work. Read full review
