Movie Reviews of StolenMovie Review: For Heaven's Sake, Give Us Our Artwork Back! Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this movie. I am so glad I purchased it. As an artist, I am continually appalled at the way greed and retrobution drives people and the ripple effect it has on the whole of humanity. This gets to the heart of this movie and this true-life drama. There's nothing charitable to say about the people who stole this art, whether alive or dead, but I hope the decendants of these people have the decency to return to Isabella's museum what is rightfully hers and stop being so, bloody-well IRISH! (I can say that because I am Irish and it makes my blood boil to learn that it is Irishmen suspected of stealing these treasures. You are better than that!)
Movie Review: This gorgeous little little film will keep you up at night... Summary: 5 Stars
wondering where "the Concert" might be hidden, who is responsible, and you'll shake your head at the sheer audacity of this theft. It was something that sounded like fiction when it happened and watching this will even make you worry that the piece and the others are at the very least stored and archived safely.
I for one would like to live to see the day that "the Concert" is put back in its frame and to know where it's been all these years. The film will have that effect on you; even if you know nothing about the Gardner Museum heist, you'll come to the end of it caring about these works!
Movie Review: Outstanding. Worth Buying. And I rarely say that these days. Summary: 5 Stars
In fact I would reccomend seeing this and then going to the Isabela Stuart Gardner Museum in Boston. This is a really compelling documentary about the infamous are heist at the Gardner Museum in 1990. It is frustrating and sad to have these works missing and perhaps poorly maintained. The characters involved in the story range from a devoted stolen art private investigator who has had skin cancer for 50 years to FBI agents and con artists who are all involved in the game of getting them back. This is a must see to anyone who loves art.
Movie Review: Art appreciation lesson in a never solved mysterious theft Summary: 5 Stars
The Gardner Museum is an enormous collection of valuable art collected by a woman who was obsessed with acquiring the best for her extraordinary home. The unsolved theft of millions of dollars of art one night remains one of Boston's most discussed crimes. There are mountains of speculation. The film brilliantly weaves an important art appreciation component into the story line.
If you appreciate art, love an unsolved mystery, and want to see the strange characters involved in the hidden world of art theft - this is for you.
Movie Review: True Life is Stranger than Fiction Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see. A great documentary. Tells of the woman who built the museum and the inspiration for it. I loved that part. Actually, the first black and white picture that they should of her bust she reminded me of the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz. I think it was the outfit. Harold Smith had a story to tell in his lifetime, poor guy. I thought it was a surprise ending to see who they think could have helped to get the pictures back. A must see for everyone. An important part of history. Ciao
