What to Know

Critics Consensus

It might be fairly standard in terms of format, but Kubrick by Kubrick still offers the rare treat of hearing the famously taciturn filmmaker address his own work.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Mar 25, 2023
It’s still such a rare treat to hear the man himself say anything at all — let alone to hear him talk about why the ideas in his work and the challenges of bringing them to the screen excited him as much as they did his fans. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Mar 21, 2023
“Kubrick by Kubrick” doesn’t offer much that will surprise even mild obsessives. Still, it is interesting to hear Kubrick express ideas that run counter to conventional wisdom. Go to Full Review
Joe Clay The Times (UK) Nov 29, 2022
Hearing Kubrick speak at length about his films chips away at the idea of the director as a mysterious sage. He just sounds like an ordinary New York guy... Go to Full Review
Greg Carlson Vague Visages Jul 28, 2023
Kubrick by Kubrick has the effect of placing the notoriously particular and media-shy subject in the room with the eager listener/viewer. Go to Full Review
Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 7, 2023

Michael Clark Epoch Times Mar 29, 2023
4/5
A filmmaker who granted scant few interviews, Kubrick wished for his work to speak for itself. He didn’t like being asked to explain the meaning of his films or their artistic merits. Go to Full Review

Steve C @RT19610513 Sep 30, 2026 They killed him. He knew to much and it's probably why he didn't like giving interviews, so that people will have less opportunity to ply him about the meaning behind his films. None of this is in the documentary, by the way. See more
Jan 10, 2022 Thats why he never gave any interview again. See more
