I'm generally not a fan of historical dramas, I have something not cool for those dresses, forced 'old' atmosphere and way of talking, but this movie was not about them, it has a solid plot and the epic vibe of the story helped making all more engaging.
Mads Mikkelsen has the main role here, and that is a blessing for the movie. What I really like about him is something every good actor (and every good 'worker' in general) should have and do, a constant self-improving attitude doing his job.
He has a brilliant career filled with awards (a Cรฉsar among them) but when I see him on the screen I always feel he's trying to learn more and do better as an actor.

"You should see this movie, it's about Nan Goldin her activism, it's directed by a very good documentarist and of course it was huge at Venice" told me an artist-friend of mine.
It's good film about this great living photographer, it's true but I also found it to be a very powerful means of expressing her voice and spreading awareness about a serious social problem that it was like an elephant in the room.
I was already an admirer of Nan Golding as an artist, but now I really realized the fact she's great as a person and this same reason influenced and boosted her talent. Her struggle, her consciousness, her soul.
She IS HUGE and this 'portrait' made by Laura Poitras was really on point.
It left me just with a question: imagine the impact of this film if it was about a MALE popular artist made by a MALE big director.
There's still glass ceiling to break... That's for sure.
