There's a good film noir to be made from this morass of human foibles, but British documentarian Paul Yule has the advantage of nonfictional context.

The worst thing about this fine documentary is its title.
12/15/06
Top CriticAdultery, abuse, and astronomical art world prices are packaged with creepy background music and cliched close-ups of court records.
10/27/06
Top CriticAn essay on the difficulty of determining 'truth' and the ultimate unknowability of people.
10/26/06
Top Critic... Yule's docu sheds light neither on the convoluted codependency of marriage nor upon the commodification of art.
08/02/06
Top CriticYule's insightful new movie details the disintegration of a marriage that was hunky-dory when he met the 75-year-old Winston and his new 50-year-old wife and partner, Conchita, in 1990.

Top CriticIt's sort of like how two people can look at the same photograph, and one can see a record of a place and time, while another can see art.
07/27/06
Paul Yule's strong documentary is teasingly ambiguous, inviting audience members to debate Conchita's guilt and supplying plenty of points for both sides.

Top Critic[A] disturbing but undeniably entertaining film.

Tough-as-nails and with a heavy British accent, director Paul Yule sometimes resembles a more famous BBC documentarian: Nick Broomfield.
07/26/06
Paul Yule's documentary wades through the seamy mess surrounding the estate of the Brooklyn-born photographer O. Winston Link, who died in 2001.
07/25/06
Top Critic[Yule] reveals a struggle far more complicated, suggesting that the manic entanglement of human relationships can't always conform to the winner-loser narratives that the lawyer-driven court system demands.
