Reviews for Notes on Marie Menken
1 - 7 (sorted by rotten rating)
Top CriticMenken'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 [director] Kudlacek lets some of the elder statesmen ramble, their recollections are a vivid, firsthand window into a bygone era of American art.
