    A hybrid of Walt Disney and Marilyn Manson... icky and banal. But it's very very trendy, and what else really matters?

    Much is revealed about the artist's method but little is revealed about the artist himself in this compelling documentary. I was confused after seeing his Cremaster Cycle at the Guggenheim; I am still confused after seeing this movie - and that is not an entirely bad thing. Go with an open mind.

    Whatever audiences might have wanted to know about sculptor-filmmaker Matthew Barney but were too embarrassed to ask is revealed in accessible documentary Matthew Barney: No Restraint.

    Chernick's film traces the creation of Barney's "narrative sculpture" with open curiosity and an alert, amiable eye.

    Chernick may not answer every question about this beguiling and enigmatic film, but you wouldn't want it to: Mystery is an essential part of the Barney experience.
