" . . . an extraordinary synthesis . . . moving and powerfully revealing"

Arriving home late last night from 3 days of screenings in Massachusetts and Rhode Island - great screenings at URI, RISD and Tufts - and gearing up for The National Gallery screening in DC this coming Saturday March 5th (really glad the government is still in business . . .) we're gratified to see this nice review.

So check out this review of our film on flick filosopher. We really appreciate everyone helping us get the word out.

". . . Weissbrod blends her own experience as an artist with Gentileschi’s -- via the testimony of art experts and Gentileschi’s own words in documents from her time -- to create an extraordinary synthesis that is part art appreciation, part personal diary, and all very moving and powerfully revealing about what it means to be a woman alive in the world, today and four hundred years ago."

And for another positive take check this out from the Washington Jewish Week, Filmmaker models herself after 17th-century painter - "When a middle-aged woman needs a role model, where does she look? Ellen Weissbrod crossed centuries and seas for her answer, finding inspiration at every turn." . . .
