100Pollock is confident, insightful work--one of the year's best films.
-
80Ed Harris, who plays Pollock and makes his debut as a director - doing both jobs superbly, by the way - is angst incarnate.
-
80As good as Harris is, though, it's Harden's performance that sticks with you long after you've seen the movie. She understands what Krasner must have known intuitively. Greatness comes not from cleaning up messes, but from allowing them to be made in the first place.
-
60A reasonably entertaining -- and occasionally very moving -- picture.

RobertH.8I liked this film but don't believe that it avoided the cliches as much as several reviewers did.
