“Impressive as is Wilson’s output and oeuvre, it’s the fully-engaged, aesthetically driven life that fascinates. And Otto-Bernstein’s movie is a portrait of an artist at his most essential, in every sense.”
—Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times [Full Review →]
“Absolute Wilson doesn’t depend on believing in Wilson’s greatness, just on his immense cultural potency and the extraordinary nature of his personal odyssey.”
—Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com [Full Review →]
“Overall impression is one of unrestricted access and harmonious cooperation, which certainly helps to humanize the often daunting scope and style of Wilson’s work.”
—Eddie Cockrell, Variety [Full Review →]
