Beginning as an overview of her career, this fascinating doc closes in on the show and its many revealing encounters, asking us to consider face-to-face engagement as a way of dissolving the barriers between an artist and her public. Jul 6, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In place of evenhandedness, the film gives us a full sense of a personality and intelligence so riveting that we begin to comprehend why all those hundreds of thousands lined up at the MoMA. Jul 6, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A creative film with a fascinating central subject. However, for someone of such a boundary-pushing background as Abramović, the film would have better suited her with a more radical framework. Jan 25, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a shame that the people who really need to see Matthew Akers' transfixing debut documentary, Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present, won't go near it. Sep 8, 2013 | Full Review…

Like any good documentary, ""The Artist Is Present" gives insight into the life and work of a truly talented lady. Her works may not be for all tastes she but obviously has an audience if MoMA is any indication. Aug 29, 2012 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

...for the 2 1/2 month run of the [MoMA] show, Marina would sit completely still in a chair as visitors cued up to sit across from her and look into her eyes. The effect is incredibly and unexpectedly moving. Aug 29, 2012 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

It demonstrates how cinema can actually make the artist seem present, offering an empathetic fellow consciousness that mirrors one's soul. Aug 29, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
