SummaryMatthew Barney's Cremaster series has taken on a legendary stature. This final piece in the 5-part cycle is the longest, densest and most complex -- filled with beautiful, mystifying images, many of them harkening back to themes the artist has already established. (Film Forum)

Matthew Barney delivers his masterpiece in Cremaster 3, unquestionably the 35-year-old sculptor-performance artist-filmmaker's most linear, most narratively inclined work to date.
80
Barney has been criticized as willfully esoteric, but if traditional meaning is once again elusive in this film, it remains an enthralling aesthetic experience, one that's steeped in mystery and a ravishing, baroque beauty.
80
If Cremaster 3 is an innovative artwork that has been credited with breaking down the distance between sculpture and film, is it also a great movie? Probably yes.
75
A tour de force that is weird, wacky and wonderful.
63
Barney's cinematic art inspires both awe and revulsion, often simultaneously.
50
Few of its loosely linked vignettes have enough visual or emotional power to be very memorable.
40
Offers little beyond the momentary joys of pretty and weightless intellectual entertainment.
