Pollock is confident, insightful work--one of the year's best films.
The result is a harrowing film, impossible to "like" in any conventional way, hypnotically impossible to turn away from.
The resulting film is a labor of love with all the strengths and weaknesses you might expect from such a designation.
The movie's best moments evoke the thrill of doing something new. Pollock convincingly retails the beauty and originality of the painter's best work -- it may not be an intellectual adventure, but it does represent one.
Renders the juicy bits of the artist's life in two hours of pulsing highlights that suggest a man who never really had any emotional or psychic downtime.
The dilemma is simple: Living, making art, and then dying does not constitute much of a story.
A smart but disappointingly conventional portrait of an artist who had little use for convention.
