Critic Reviews

Scott Foundas

Matthew Barney delivers his masterpiece in Cremaster 3, unquestionably the 35-year-old sculptor-performance artist-filmmaker's most linear, most narratively inclined work to date. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Barney has been criticized as willfully esoteric, but if traditional meaning is once again elusive in this film, it remains an enthralling aesthetic experience, one that's steeped in mystery and a ravishing, baroque beauty. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Megan Lehmann

A tour de force that is weird, wacky and wonderful. Read full review

There's a horde of classic cars having a battle royal in a skyscraper. There's a hobbit and lonely giant. There's a funeral for a zombie. It has some strange music. I compare this film to Monty Python, David Lynch, and a Julie Taymor sex tape. I say watch this it is good.… Expand
