    The film would be more informative if it put Goldsworthy into the broader context of modernist art movements. It's visually ravishing from start to finish, though.

    Enchanting documentary that also serves as an animated gallery of Goldsworthy’s uniquely ephemeral art.

    Fantastic representation of an artist whos work is not that easy to understand on a deeper level, and even Goldsworthy seems to understand his work on no more than an instinctual level.
