1 - 16 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe film is a bit rough around the edges, but it found an unforgettable character in a dogged 75-year-old art robbery sleuth named Harold Smith.
11/02/06
Top CriticIn telling the story of an unsolved crime, they use every trick available to awaken and prolong suspense before a payoff that never comes.
09/01/06
Top CriticComposer Peter Golub adds swooning suspense, while cinematographer Albert Maysles, who has documented many Christo projects, frames rendezvous with tipsters tempted by the $5 million reward.
07/14/06
Top CriticThat it never quite reaches an 'Aha!' moment is the movie's chief flaw, as we have been set up to expect answers.
06/30/06
Top CriticIn the end, we're treated to an overture of possibilities rather than a satisfying film.
06/22/06
Top CriticA spooky new documentary that you'll see for its central mystery (who stole those paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum 16 years ago?), but you'll stay for the ghost story.
05/12/06
Top CriticWhatever the outcome of all this hugger-mugger, as yet unresolved, Stolen gives us hints about a special sort of muscle.
05/08/06
Top CriticThe meat of the film is [Dreyfus'] dauntless gumshoe, who plays his role to such eccentric perfection, he would have to have been invented had he not existed prior to that fateful March morning.
05/06/06
Top CriticRebecca Dreyfus's middling documentary recounts the efforts to retrieve masterpieces stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
04/21/06
Top CriticSince the case remains unsolved, the film lacks a true ending, but it finds some wonderful personalities along the way.
04/21/06
Top CriticIt's like racing through a detective novel, only to find the last page has been torn out.
04/21/06
Top CriticA haunting and expansive documentary about the search for the precious paintings stolen in 1990 from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner museum.
04/18/06
Top CriticThe doc prioritizes flash over facts, leaving you pining for the New Yorker exposé it could've been.
04/18/06
Top CriticStolen provides a treasure trove of outrageous characters, rampant speculation, personal obsessions and a glimpse into the rarefied world of art collecting.
07/07/05
Top CriticA docu that should appeal not just to the legion of Vermeer fans, but to lovers of good mystery.
