Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is the first feature-length film about the internationally renowned Chinese artist and activist, Ai Weiwei. In recent years, Ai has garnered international attention as much for his ambitious artwork as his political provocations. From 2008 to 2010, Beijing-based journalist and filmmaker Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai Weiwei. Klayman documented Ai's artistic process in preparation for major museum exhibitions, his intimate exchanges with family members and his increasingly public clashes with the Chinese government. Klayman's detailed portrait of the artist provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures. -- (C) IFC

Review For Movie Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
A fascinating portrait of a modern artist and activist trying to make a difference within China's repressive political system.
Tom Long-Detroit News The film's recurring theme is of an artist on a perpetual hunt for transparency, in his country and abroad.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald A movie that somehow mixes apprehension for Ai with a feeling of warmth and, certainly, fun.
John Anderson-Newsday Affable and unpretentious, Ai comes across as a cagey operator whose candor is very appealing.
Mary Abbe-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's likely to change the way you think about art and politics and the state of China today.
Tirdad Derakhshani-Philadelphia Inquirer Using archival footage dating back to Ai's adventures in the New York art world in his 20s, Klayman traces his evolution as a creator and as an activist.
Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic To say Ai Weiwei is an interesting character is an understatement. He is an unconventional social activist and a thorn in the side of the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Ai Weiwei is such a laid back, calm and yet mischievous spirit that the film takes on a whole different, almost joyous tone.
Brian Holcomb-Kinetofilm The film is about the power and limits of art.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Klayman never demonizes the authoritarian Chinese government, as her purpose seems to be to show how difficult it is to be a rebel in such a closed society as China.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews A compelling documentary that explodes proper and stuffy notions of what a foreign intellectual dissident looks and sounds like.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness The struggle for free speech in China is given sharp, sobering, disturbing voice through the struggles of cutting edge, digitally savvy, Twitter-loving artist Ai Weiwei.
Jim Schembri-3AW Alison Klayman's remarkable film about China's leading 'digital dissident' fully illustrates the talents of a man who often does the opposite of what you'd expect.
Graham Young-Birmingham Post ... straightforward, entertaining and provocative documentary about the titular Chinese artist
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Even if you don't like documentaries as a rule, I'm betting you'll like Ai Weiwei himself so much that you'll be glad you took the time to get to know him through this film.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Klayman deserves a lot of credit for being in the right place at the right time with the right person. Ai is a treat to follow around, and his courage is clearly more than a pose.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active An unprecedented inside look at Chinese politics and a fascinating tour of modern art at the same time.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics A powerful film that teaches us as much about ourselves as it does it's subject, "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry," is a sure bet to be nominated for an Oscar come January 2013.
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes This riveting documentary deserves consideration for year-end awards. Klayman gained unprecedented access to this very photogenic man with a dynamic personality.
Keith Cohen-Entertainment Spectrum A lively, informative, funny and inspirational portrait of a courageous, charismatic, highly original man.
Philip French-Observer [UK] His willingness to speak out despite severe consequences is inspiring, and his recent silence speaks almost as loudly as his work in calling attention to China's repressive tactics.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org This essential, finely honed biographical portrait is jollied along by all the ironies and complexities of modern China.
Tara Brady-Irish Times Who doesn't hate it when critics say, "this is an important documentary you must see!" Well, Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is a critically important documentary you need to see.
Christian Toto-Big Hollywood Well worth seeing.

Movie Overview For Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
Ai Weiwei is known for many things â€" great architecture, subversive in-your-face art, and political activism. He has also called for greater transparency on the part of the Chinese state. Director Alison Klayman chronicles the complexities of Ai’s life for three years, beginning with his rise to public prominence via blog and Twitter after he questioned the deaths of more than 5,000 students in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The record continues through his widely publicized arrest in Beijing in April of 2011. As Ai prepares various works of art for major international exhibitions, his activism heats up, and his run-ins with China’s authorities become more and more frequent.
