Critic Reviews for My Rembrandt

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (1)

"My Rembrandt" is loose and exploratory - a series of portraits of those obsessed with Rembrandt portraits.

Owen Gleiberman
Variety
[A]n acute, often fascinating and occasionally puzzling rumination on aspects of the other titular word - "my."

Christopher Knight
Los Angeles Times
Sumptuous and enjoyable on several levels.

John DeFore
Hollywood Reporter
While "My Rembrandt" poses heady questions about the difference between acquisitiveness and appreciation, it mostly plays like a straight art-world documentary that itself would have benefited from a more vertiginous, obsessive approach.

Ben Kenigsberg
New York Times
My Rembrandt is at its most interesting when struggling to reconcile the slow, careful work of art restoration with the crass, instant gratification on acquiring such rarefied objects.

Simran Hans
Observer (UK)
Ultimately, though, it's the paintings that make this shine. As the camera lingers on tiny sections of a canvas, dealer Jan Six illuminates the untutored eye to the nuances of Rembrandt's genius.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh
Metro (UK)
If it were an exhibition, Oeke Hoogendijk's documentary would be a small collection of portraits, rather randomly organised, but with something of interest on every wall.

Edward Porter
Sunday Times (UK)
It is an entertaining and beautifully crafted film, whose success can be measured in the food for thought it provides.

August 17, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Florence Hallett
The Arts Desk
Oeke Hoogendijk, the film's director, has indeed made a bit of a 'thriller' about art, as the publicity dubs it, fair enough, she has.

Paddy Kehoe
RTÉ (Ireland)
There's much more to Oeke Hoogendijk's My Rembrandt than initially meets the eye... Her latest documentary explores, to great effect, the motives for possession, obsession and ongoing fascination with the Dutch Old Master.
