Reviews for Forever
What we see in Heddy Honigmann's understated, touching documentary are the ways that people reach out to the abstract.
Honigmann develops, with deceptive casualness, a few unforgettable character studies and one of the purest, most moving motion pictures of the year.
Achieves something more resonant than a Solemn Affirmation of the Immortal Spirit of Art.
Honigmann's subtle asides -- moody cuts to mournful statuary, insects crawling over tombs -- all speak to her art-is-immortal theme.
Death, beauty and the persistence of art are the vast topics addressed in Heddy Honigmann's frustrating documentary Forever.
One of those rare docs capable of holding its own in an official selection of fiction films.
