Diverting as Glaser is being retrospective, it’s so much more interesting -- not to mention truer to his achievement -- watching him being creative.

Top Critic...will leave an audience feeling both lightened and illuminated.

Top CriticUnfortunately, the portrait first-time director Wendy Keys paints of the 80-year-old is more about myth building than anything else.
05/27/09
An illuminating, compelling and well-focused documentary. Just like Milton Glaser's artworks, it concurrently informs and delights.
05/24/09
Collaborators testify to the continuing influence of Glaser, now almost 80, but seeing is believing in director Wendy Keys’ pleasantly conversational documentary. Expect to mutter “He made that too?” at least a dozen times.

Top CriticA breezy look at the man somebody says "may be the best-known graphic artist in the world."
05/22/09
Top CriticEven casual filmgoers should be intrigued, while film buffs and cineastes will find the doc's inside-show biz stories a real treat.
05/22/09
May leave you with the impression that the spirit of modern New York was conjured out of thin air by its subject.

Top CriticThe quantity and depth of Glaser's work is awesome
05/21/09
What elevates the film to something more than a talking-heads documentary is the rapport established between Mr. Glaser and Ms. Keys on a project they both saw as a visual and verbal love letter to New York City.

Top CriticSurely Glaser the trailblazer warrants a more stylistically adventurous tribute than this.

It's a pleasant, largely anecdotal portrait.
05/19/09
Top CriticDocu splendidly focuses on the artist but gives shorter shrift to the art itself.
05/19/09
Top CriticKeys succeeds in limning an engaging portrait of an artist and mentor who's spent a lifetime affirming the power of art to inform and delight, and, if he can help it, effect positive social change.
