Critics Consensus

It might be fairly standard in terms of format, but Kubrick by Kubrick still offers the rare treat of hearing the famously taciturn filmmaker address his own work.

It’s still such a rare treat to hear the man himself say anything at all — let alone to hear him talk about why the ideas in his work and the challenges of bringing them to the screen excited him as much as they did his fans.

“Kubrick by Kubrick” doesn’t offer much that will surprise even mild obsessives. Still, it is interesting to hear Kubrick express ideas that run counter to conventional wisdom.

4/5

A filmmaker who granted scant few interviews, Kubrick wished for his work to speak for itself. He didn’t like being asked to explain the meaning of his films or their artistic merits.

one of the greatest directors of all the time. His movies were technically perfect. They didn't have enough emotional impact though, but nobody's perfect
