Andy Goldsworthy's art is supposed to fall apart. He creates large-scale outdoor sculptures and artworks out of natural materials like mud, wood, ice and stone in an attempt to imbue the physical world with a spiritual, ephemeral element. Director Thomas Riedelsheimer follows Goldsworthy as he constructs his art everywhere from upstate New York to his home village in Scotland, and questions the solitary artist about his inspirations, frustrations and artistic goals.

Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 4/5 Sep 15, 2005 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness An absorbing portrait of a unique artist's professional and personal communion with nature. Rated: B+ Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Andy Goldworthy's work deserves to be profiled in this breathtaking, beautiful, and fascinating look in to nature, the creative process, and of an unassuming artist... Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) If the film lets Goldsworthy overexplain what's happening, it also affords ample to time to languidly take in the imagery and let its beauty and simplicity speak for itself. Rated: 4/5 Apr 2, 2008 Full Review Mel Valentin Movie-Vault.com Rated: 9/10 Feb 13, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Andy Goldsworthy imprinting sculptures and art as additional plusses on natural wonders with philosophical dedication makes this a fascinating gem powered by his passionately gentle observant narration with the similarly captivating likes as Werner Herzog. (A) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Well made documentary with excellent cinematography. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member His art's so pretty it would be easy to dismiss as superficial, but here it's obvious he's completely genuine, and his work's simplicity hides immense effort and determination. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member What extraordinary patience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Depressing and boring Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this guys art... and I only just discovered he has a piece at the Meijer's Sculpture Garden.
