"Don't Blink" is a portrait of an artist, a portrait that draws upon Frank's own improvisational approach to filmmaking, but which also manages to capture a life's story, as well as its subject's essence. September 30, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The innovative photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank doesn't have much to say for himself in this 2015 documentary profile, but with a career as storied as his, he barely needs to say anything. September 29, 2016 | Full Review…

Don't Blink is a friendly film by a friend - honest and historically aware, but almost unfailingly affectionate and attuned to the "spontaneous intuition" that, 92 years after his birth, still seems the governing principle of Frank's life. August 26, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Frank insists "I'm not a verbal man. I have nothing to reveal. It's all in the work, I hope." Honoring that sentiment is what this very personal film is all about. July 28, 2016 | Full Review…

As the title seems to advertise, it's a frustrating blur of a movie; the rock 'n' roll soundtrack, however, is terrific. July 14, 2016 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Ultimately, Don't Blink's gracious approach brings Frank out, casting a welcome impression of him. Where others pushed, Israel waited and invited and talked throughout three years of filming. February 1, 2020 | Full Review…

Don't Blink is the rare documentary that understands that the best way to elicit both appreciation and understanding for an artist's creations is to allow us to see these creations first-hand. May 2, 2019 | Full Review…

Directed by ... Laura Israel, her background as an editor comes to the fore in the precision with which she combines Frank's photographs, film footage and her own documentary material, providing insight ... in a manner both eloquent and erudite. August 25, 2018 | Full Review…
