Andy pours his soul into his work and often takes it to the very edge of its collapse. That’s a very beautiful balance.

To look at the everyday with a different eye. I do needlework and I am trying to incorporate a sense of personal challenge into anything I make. Andy, you are true inspiration.

Fantastic visual journey through the creative mind of a genius in understanding nature. Andy Goldsworthy awareness and reverance of nature is inspirational and spirtual!!!!

I thought Rivers and Time fabulous. Andy Goldsworthy -- what can I say? He is the artist in us all. He thinks like a philosopher and plays like a child. His work is sublime. I am enchanted with "art" that is ephemeral, or like, Henry Moore's out in the middle of nowhere for no one. As a weaver, I always wanted to do a weaving deep in the woods where no one goes, no one sees. Old age caught up with me before I was able to do it, but it is in a short story of mine, so in a sense it was done. thanks for the viewing. I saw it minutes ago on Movie Plex.

This moving deserves nothing less than a ten....The visual images are like desert of the highest quality for the soul....It reminds the viewer how important the natural world is as a source of spiritual and artistic enlightenment. Wonderful!!!
AJ Boots gave it a 9:
Mesmerizing. As a movie, it does the best I've seen at letting the viewer see the art in the way the artist conceived it. But the photography goes a step beyond merely viewing to expand the viewpoint by focusing on the lyrical and the stony/muddy context of these "earthworks."
Chandan N. gave it a 9:
This is an excellent documentary of Goldsworthy's techinique and philosophy. There are two upsetting aspects to the film, however. The director found some reason to domesticate Goldsworthy in a scene in the artist's kitchen. It was totally superfluous and revealed more about Goldsworthy as being less than ideal as a parent and husband, with his wife tending kitchen and his numerous children scurrying about. The second disappointment was Fred Frith's succumbing to the pop-American tendency to "Orientalize" bucolic scences with ethnically appropriate music, cf. sheep shearing and "Gaelic"-sounding music. Other than that, it is a brilliantly executed film.
