Reviews for Notes on Marie Menken
Menken's flickering opuses about nothing more or less than walking through a garden seem to suggest that there's art all around us in the mundane -- something Kudlácek should have taken to heart.
Marie Menken may be a footnote figure, but viewers looking for another small piece of hidden cinema history will admire these Notes.
While it opens a rare window into an unconventional life, this portrait of an artist as an old woman is prone to strange distractions.
Handsome tribute is paid to the eponymous experimental filmmaker in Notes on Marie Menken.
While [director] Kudlacek lets some of the elder statesmen ramble, their recollections are a vivid, firsthand window into a bygone era of American art.
Notes on Marie Menken shines a welcome ray of light on a largely forgotten figure in the American avant-garde film scene.
