"A highly personal, rigorous, and thoughtful analysis of a truly troubled genius." | ||
 |
|
"The movie forces you, as few of its kind ever do, to see the fruits and spoils of genius framed against the gritty, banal canvas of normal life." | ||
|
|
|
"There are few more thrilling sights around than watching the great Ed Harris furiously hovering over a canvas in Pollock." | ||
|
|
|
"The pleasure of watching these two superb actors [Harris and Harden] play figures of such stature without a trace of sentimentality is enormous." | ||
|
|

"Stands out among creative bio-pics for an ability to show art being made in a way that's as realistic and exciting as it's ever been on screen." | ||

"The movie falls short of achieving its apparent goal: being the 'Raging Bull' of the art world." | ||

|
"Ed Harris has always been a great actor in search of a role that could match his haunted intensity, and in Pollock ... he finds it." | ||
|
|
|
"Distinguished by its quiet, intelligent, admirably restrained approach and by two finely wrought performances from Harris and Marcia Gay Harden" |
