You don't need to be a fan of Wagner, or even opera, to find this a fascinating glimpse of a dauntingly complex human endeavor. Jul 26, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The result is an engrossing chronicle of creative people under pressure, a movie about the madness of opera for which no knowledge of opera is required for full enjoyment. Jul 25, 2012 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

It's a bit startling that director Susan Fröemke would choose to make a documentary about the set. Jul 19, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The finished "Ring" cycle, a combination of "myth, science and legend" made to order as Wagner imagined it, was unique to every viewer's eye. The making of it will be spellbinding to everyone. Jul 19, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

[A] 16-hour, four-opera masterwork about the creation and destruction of the world, a work that Wagner considered unstageable in his time. Jul 18, 2012 | Rating: 4/5

Marvelously candid documentary depicting the creation of a massive, seemingly foolhardy pipe dream of a production. One of a handful of truly fine movies about opera. Jul 19, 2012 | Full Review…

Richard Wagner would be overjoyed to see a production of his Ring cycle staged in a manner that was impossible in the 19th Century. Jul 11, 2012 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The first hour here is the most fascinating, as Froemke details the nuts and bolts of getting this massive undertaking off the ground. Once we get past the opening night of the first opera in the cycle, things start to get repetitive. Jun 21, 2012 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

What Froemke's film does - or at least did for this Wagner novice - is prompt the urgent itch to see Lepage's take on the Ring, see another, and gain the confidence to judge first-hand. Jun 19, 2012 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
