Late in this meandering film, Rogers' romantic infidelities and the onset of illness add some much-needed dynamics, but even when it's just shooting the breeze, The Windmill Movie is captivating. September 30, 2009 | Rating: 3/4

Although the format will be familiar to fans of Tarnation and Capturing the Friedmans, the result comes closer to Fellini's autobiographical 8 1/2. July 23, 2009 | Rating: 3/4

A remarkable documentary attempt to reconcile Rogers's sense of personal, professional, and artistic malaise, which culminated in his decades-long attempt to make a film about his life. July 16, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Olch doesn't make it easy to identify with Rogers and his stylish existence, but that choice begins to pay off gradually as the fragments start to add up to something more. July 1, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

From the wall-to-wall piano score to Rogers' tedious navel-gazing, The Windmill Movie renders prosaic and pretentious the churning conflict behind the process of artistic creation. June 18, 2009 | Rating: D | Full Review…

In embracing Richard Rogers' style and adopting his tone, Alexander Olch creates a documentary that's as much a respectful, moving tribute to Rogers, as it is the projected realization of Rogers' intended cinematic autobiography. March 19, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This movie should be unbearable; instead it's grotesquely fascinating. Rogers' striking early short Quarry precedes the main feature, demonstrating the man's considerable talent. July 31, 2009 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, a man died (from cancer) in the making of this explicitly introspective life tome; it was the only way he saw to complete his masterpiece. July 16, 2009 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

There hasn't been as good a film of this type in this country since Tarnation, which means Olch's movie is a treat and a surprise no one should pass on. June 25, 2009

The ongoing, deeply personal introspection that permeates the picture gives it the haunting feel of a sance. June 22, 2009 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

One gets swept up in the first soapy, then tragic melodrama of the life matter that overwhelmed Rogers' desire/compulsion/ability to make art. June 21, 2009
