      Audience Member cool & informative bio-doc Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary about a great woman! Highly recommended for those interested in the history of film in America. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Mary Pickford films viewed: "The Lonely Villa" and "The New York Hat". The usual silent, short fare; humour, partly due to the acting, and sweet stories. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Todd McCarthy Variety A disappointingly conventional career recap of the silent era's preeminent female star and businesswoman. May 2, 2016 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row While Eliopoulos' film is hardly revelatory, it offers an engaging overview of the life of one of the brightest stars the world has ever seen. Rated: 3/4 Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Mike Clark Home Media Magazine There's added star power here - which also includes wattage from show-ups by Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, Lillian Gish (and in one amazing talking clip, a visit to the couple's Pickfair mansion by Amelia Earhart and husband). May 2, 2016 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl The Muse of the Movies accomplishes two things: It presents a straightforward and somewhat hagiographical biography of Pickford's early life and film career, and it includes a lot of clips from her films, thus whetting the viewer's appetite for more. May 2, 2016 Full Review Edward Havens FilmJerk.com Mary Pickford: Muse of the Movies deserves to be put on the list of not just the best documentaries about cinema but the greatest movies about the movies ever. Rated: A+ May 2, 2016 Full Review Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist Muse Of The Movies is assembled with such thoroughness, respect and care you can't help but be awed by Pickford's remarkable achievements. Rated: B Jun 22, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
