- 75RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonRogerEbert.comOdie HendersonThis is a very personal documentary that occasionally has the intentional feel of a home movie.
- 63Slant MagazinePat BrownSlant MagazinePat BrownIts major contribution, as one museum curator suggests, may be to bring the works of Moshe Rynecki back into prominence.
- 60The New York TimesKen JaworowskiThe New York TimesKen JaworowskiChasing Portraits is small and subtle, with some missed opportunities and occasionally inexpert filmmaking. But it’s not an insignificant effort, and Ms. Rynecki’s cause is admirable.
