Art and Craft Reviews

A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating documentary about Landis' amazing feats as a forger and con man.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 31, 2014

It's the kind of story a filmmaker dreams of - and yet, "Art and Craft" leaves the viewer uneasy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 30, 2014

Much like the experts drawn to Landis' paintings, Art and Craft effectively invites viewers to question the honesty of what's been placed inside the frame.

| Oct 15, 2014

Sam Cullman, Jennifer Grausman, and Mark Becker, the directors of "Art and Craft," have themselves an enticing subject in Landis's activities. They do not have an enticing subject in Landis himself.

| Oct 9, 2014

Directors Sam Cullman and Jennifer Grausman maintain a bright tone and a melancholy undercurrent, which combine in an eminently watchable character study.

| Oct 9, 2014

Wonderful and not a little sad.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2014

A fascinating look inside the troubled mind of a master of deception.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 3, 2014

Landis has made a lot of people very angry, and the movie deals with a serious issue - namely the way obsessions take control of us.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 2, 2014

A droll documentary that may remind you of Errol Morris' work.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 2, 2014

The constant scrutiny of a camera seems exploitative and cruel, even if you are at all suspicious when he rationalizes his behavior as childlike mischief.

"Nothing's original under the sun," muses Mark Landis in the consistently compelling documentary "Art and Craft." But he seems to be discounting himself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2014

Mr. Landis, who lives in Laurel, Miss., and has operated under several pseudonyms, is the enigmatic core of a movie that becomes pedestrian only when the focus switches to a one-man crusade to expose him.

| Sep 18, 2014

Compelling but dubious ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2014

Sympathetic yet gently unnerving ...

| Sep 16, 2014

This crazy-gazing docu never presumes to be much more than an extended version of the kind of story one might expect to see briefly spotlighted on 60 Minutes. Even so, all sorts of interesting questions.swirl beneath the surface.

| Sep 16, 2014

Deeply eccentric subject makes for an engaging art-doc.

| Sep 16, 2014

The filmmakers profile the prolific Mark Landis with a non-judgmental straightforwardness that allows the sheer brazenness of his scams to generate both shock and amusement.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 13, 2014
