Altogether fascinating.

Picasso and Braque's primary merit is its archive-raiding evocation of the period discussed through vintage nitrate images.
By Nick Pinkerton FULL REVIEW

Features a profusion of provocative ideas and a wealth of vintage film clips but is unable to avoid having the inevitable feel of a college thesis.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

What holds the film together, more or less, is the steady stream of mostly slapstick clips from early cinema.

It’s a 60-minute documentary that feels like days of watching paint dry.

There is much to learn from Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies. First, a wealth of sharp professorial minds and great artistic eyes is no guarantee of equivalent documentary moviemaking. Second, when making a sort of thesis statement, it helps to have a thesis.
By Wesley Morris FULL REVIEW

The ever-excitable Martin Scorsese, who is listed as a producer and who pops up, bizarrely, to talk about how he decided to stage the last shot of "The Departed," concludes things by saying, "Cubism was not a style. It was a revolution!" Yep. And not in any way a fad.
