Top CriticThe worst thing about this fine documentary is its title.
12/15/06
Top Critic[A] disturbing but undeniably entertaining film.
07/26/06
[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.
07/25/06
Top CriticPaul 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 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
... Yule's docu sheds light neither on the convoluted codependency of marriage nor upon the commodification of art.
08/02/06
Top CriticTough-as-nails and with a heavy British accent, director Paul Yule sometimes resembles a more famous BBC documentarian: Nick Broomfield.
07/26/06
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.
01/19/07
Paul Yule's strong documentary is teasingly ambiguous, inviting audience members to debate Conchita's guilt and supplying plenty of points for both sides.
07/26/06
Top CriticAdultery, abuse, and astronomical art world prices are packaged with creepy background music and cliched close-ups of court records.
