Though Bratt is great in the title role, the biopic itself is messy and Piñero grows tiresome.

Overlapping the artist's biography and his work, writer-director Leon Ichaso pointedly reflects the chaos in his subject's shortish life, but he links the artist's frustrations and talent in the usual manner: as cause and effect. July 31, 2007 | Full Review…

Flashily but irritatingly shot, full of unmotivated switches from colour to b/w, sudden flashbacks, mannered slow mo and jump cuts, this is hardly a subtle evocation of its subject's life. February 9, 2006 | Full Review…

A vivid rendering of the complexities of the artist's soul, and a notable attempt to convey the trajectory of a volatile creative life. July 20, 2002 | Rating: 3/4

It's impressionistic and risks incoherence, but it works as a successful montage of the unruly life of a sensitive, talented, but conflicted man whose self-destructiveness it never tries to sugarcoat or deny. March 22, 2002 | Rating: 3.5/4

Who was Piero, and more to the point, why should we care? Bratt brings him to life, but we come away appreciating his genius no more than we did before. December 7, 2003 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
