The Art of the Steal - Trailer No. 1
I usually hate doing end-of-year lists like this. As only a part-time reviewer of films, I tend not to see the majority of the 'best' until long after the next year has begun. I still haven't had a chance to see 'Marwencol,' for instance. And that's cited...

This is a must see movie . As a supporter of the arts, I am embarassed that I had not followed this situation. I knew that The Barnes Museum was a very special place, similar, in many ways, to Bosto... n's jewel, The Gardner. How sad for Philadelphia that they would rather 'rape; their treasures and do such an injustice to a man's will, rather than hire PR people to bring more tourism into Philly proper. I, for one, will make my pilgrimage to this place to honor Dr. Barnes and his vision. Full Review
Very well done and illuminating. A look into the politics of art and how these politicians and public "charitable" organizations gain power at the expense of what they are purported to save.... Barnes had noble ideas about art education and immersion and to see this dismantled is cause for concern. Full Review
