Review For Movie Beauty Is Embarrassing
"Beauty Is Embarrassing" is an undeniably likable film, mainly because White is a likable guy who believes comedy is at least as important as tragedy.
Tom Long-Detroit News Neil Berkeley's infectiously affectionate portrait of artist, puppeteer and genially profane provocateur Wayne White.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post An amiable if not especially urgent celebration of the life and work of Wayne White.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe It remains a story at all times - there's a moment at a book signing that will give you a big smile and goosebumps - and it keeps throwing great things to look at up on the screen.
Linda Holmes-NPR His art is a force that can't be contained: No wonder he felt so at home in the warped environs of Pee-wee's Playhouse.
Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail The doc meanders occasionally, but we're grateful when it comes back to White and his creations.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Judging from this documentary, his character is as exuberant as his work, and he seems to be one of those lucky people who simply can't stop creating...
Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters If for no other reason, the film should at least be seen for its visuals -- or, rather, for White's visuals.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Using animation, CGI and stop-motion, and mixing analog and digital video, director Berkeley transforms 'Beauty Is Embarrassing' into a White-inspired but Berkeley made work of pop-folk art
James Verniere-Boston Herald It's ... indulgent, not admitting that White's new gimmick wears out its welcome, and never making the case that White deserves his own documentary.
Ann Lewinson-Boston Phoenix This isn't necessarily a life-altering work, but there's no denying that the fun White gets out of his work is pretty irresistible.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Beauty is Embarrassing is a funny, enormously entertaining film, built around an autobiographical show White performs for a theater audience.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks These moments elevate Beauty Is Embarrassing beyond mere tribute to an undersung artist into a far rarer thing: a glimpse into the galvanizing effect art -- good art, bad art, fine art, folk art, or 5th-grader art -- can have.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle An embraceable tale of childhood mischief, teenage rebellion, award-winning creativity and enduring imagination.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune Neil Berkeley's doc is as puckish as its subject, so steeped in artist Wayne White's creative juices that it makes you want to go straight home and start making things.

Movie Overview For Beauty Is Embarrassing
Raised in the Tennessee mountains, Wayne White started his career as a cartoonist in NYC. He quickly found success as one of the creators of the Pee-wee's Playhouse TV show which soon led to more work designing some of the most arresting and iconic images in pop culture. Recently his word paintings featuring pithy and and often sarcastic text statements finely crafted onto vintage landscape paintings have made him a darling of the fine art world. The movie chronicles the vaulted highs and crushing lows of an artist struggling to find peace and balance between his professional work and his personal art. This is especially complicated for a man who struggles with the virtues he most often mocks in his art...Vanity, ego and fame.
