1/4
Yet another stale art-world satire with nothing to say except that collectors are pretentious nuts. Go to Full Review Matt Donato TheWrap Jan 27
3/5
It’s far-fetched and diabolical in the right moments, however stunted the overall execution becomes ... Perhaps not the perfect score, but a nifty, noxious endeavor nonetheless. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Jan 27
I found myself charmed and fully invested in it. The film’s poppy vibrancy, its mood of absurdist anguish, its sheer velocity won me over. Go to Full Review Caleb Hammond The Film Stage 8h
More Velvet Buzzsaw than The Square, The Gallerist suffers from piling on the references and refusing to give audiences a chance to breathe. Go to Full Review Lyvie Scott Inverse 1d
The Gallerist is a lot of things: a campy, claustrophobic showcase, a vibes-based backstage dramedy... Its value is in the eye of the beholder, but it won’t serve to dismiss it outright. Go to Full Review Zachary Lee MovieWeb 2d
