Rating: 4/5 --
'He wanted to be a legend,' we are told again and again - and the filmmakers show just how single-mindedly he set about becoming one.

Rating: 3/5 --
There is food for thought here, although the movie is, for me, a little uncritical on the subject of Mapplethorpe's weaknesses: his lucrative celebrity portraits now look, frankly, uninteresting.

Guardian
Rating: 4/5 --
Appreciative of its subject's gifts, frank about his flaws. You can also use it as a guide to the 1980s art world and the journey of Manhattan from scuzzy bohemia to real estate gold mine.

Rating: 3/5 --
The most revelatory facet of Look At The Pictures is what you hear: Bailey and Barbato accessed a trove of audio recordings in which Mapplethorpe discusses himself with disarming frankness.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
The focus of this documentary is the work and life - the former overwhelmed the latter - of iconoclastic American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.

Certainly a higher tier of artist profile doc.

Little White Lies
A new HBO documentary on the late photographer is smart enough to realize that his power derived from his creepiness.

Description by OLDIES.com:
In 1989, on the floor of Congress, Senator Jesse Helms implored America to "Look at the pictures," while denouncing the controversial art of Robert Mapplethorpe, whose photographs pushed social boundaries with their frank depictions of nudity, sexuality and fetishism - and ignited a culture war that rages to this day.
