What What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael Is About

Rob Garver's 2019 documentary is about the film critic Pauline Kael. Born in California, Kael began writing in the fifties, took a regular column at a magazine at the end of the sixties and shaped the language of American criticism for close to thirty years. The method is to put the writing first. Kael's prose is read by Sarah Jessica Parker and set against clips from the films; the distance between the sentence you hear and the scene you see becomes visible. Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, David O. Russell and others speak. The documentary does not stop at praise; personal feuds, clashes with directors and the harshness of some of her judgements are also carried. Who it's for: those curious about the history of film criticism and American cinema after the sixties. Who it's not for: viewers who have never read Kael; the documentary assumes you know its subject.
