Hockney is a little work of art of its own, even if it's so very nice and happy about everything. Read full review

Both revealing and good-natured, its a very inviting exploration of one of the 20th Centurys major artists. Read full review

“Everyone is looking all the time; you just have to train yourself to look harder,” Hockney explains. This warm, affectionate, perceptive film makes looking harder look easy. Read full review

After a nearly virtuoso opening, it reduces passages of the painter's life into multiple montages of pop pabulum. Read full review
