Review For An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty |
What saves the film-and grandly-is Nance's wildly ambitious visual imagination. Ernest Hardy-Village Voice
A dense, organic, dazzling and funny tapestry, making use of varied and subtly colored animation and stop-motion; candid video; playfully verbose direct address; chapters and footnotes and doodles; and suavely chosen music and sonic bridges. Nicolas Rapold-New York Times
This musical, elliptical, personal, poetical, sensual indie produced by Jay-Z has a seductive DIY feel and a lineage that's part early Spike Lee and late Charles Bukowski. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
Overambitiousness can turn a valentine into hot air and white noise, but it can also serve as a calling card for an artist finding his pitch-and Nance is indeed an artist, pure and simple. David Fear-Time Out New York
This brisk and self-searching, sharply intelligent and deeply vulnerable romantic comedy is a masterwork of reflexive construction. Richard Brody-New Yorker
Experimental debut is an engaging essay film about (probably) unrequited love. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
Chock-a-block with creativity and cleverness, but ultimately too much of muchness. David Noh-Film Journal International
Ghetto psychobabble strictly for the attention-deficit, Jay-Z demographic. Kam Williams-AALBC.com
Incredibly heartfelt and sincere and urgent... It is the film that it is because it is sloppy and rough. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
On the one hand, its multiple postmodernist levels and medium shifts make it one of the most original movies of the year. On the other, its relative lack of substance...is frustrating and causes the film to run out of juice about halfway through. Luke Y. Thompson-Nerdist
An Oversimplification of Her Beauty is a serious but never somber offering from a member of the Brooklyn boheme 2.0 generation. Elise Nakhnikian-Slant Magazine
I doubt I'll see a more visually inventive film at this fest-or this year, that matter-but I do wish that Oversimplification were easier to connect to. Noel Murray-AV Club
