Absorbing, artfully executed.

(Herzog's) tribute to Kinski doubles as a life-affirming monument to creation in all its variety.
75
Herzog soft-pedals his cinematic ingenuity in this personal documentary about his love-hate relationship with Kinski, whose performances in Herzog classics...helped both of them become towering figures on the international movie scene before Kinski's untimely death.

Serves as an eloquent coda to their unforgettable creative partnership.
60
The evidence Herzog serves up is impossible to dismiss.
30
Compels questions about Kinski's bravado and artistry, and suggests that it might not always be easy to distinguish his from Herzog's.
