2023 Academy Award® Nominee: Best Documentary Feature

WINNER! Best Non-Fiction Film: New York Film Critics Circle

Nan Goldin rose from the New York “No Wave” underground to become one of the most revered photographers of the late 20th century; her photographs and slideshows have captured her most intimate relationships with friends and lovers. But more than just a portrait of an extraordinary artist, All the Beauty also looks at Goldin’s grassroots political activism, specifically, her David-and-Goliath battle with the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical dynasty who have been described as the “most evil family in America.”

Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Laura Poitras’s newest film is a testament to the fearless honesty of an irrepressible artist, for whom creative expression and political conviction are inextricably linked. (112 min)

 A towering and devastating work of SHOCKING INTELLIGENCE and still greater emotional power… This is an overwhelming film. — Indiewire

Maybe the MOST ESSENTIAL FILM of the year. — Original Cin

If you’ve ever doubted how ART, RAGE, or ACTION can make meaningful change, Goldin’s combination of all three fighting an opioid crisis that nearly killed her is exhilarating proof of the power of “screaming in the streets.” — The LA Times

There is a distinct sense of against-all-odds triumph that hits hard, and lingers long. — The Globe and Mail

It strikes at the core of what makes us human, our hopes and fears and the relationships we invest ourselves in. It is COMMUNITY AS ART AS ACTIVISM in one giant loop, filtered through the gaze of a woman so unflinchingly tireless in her efforts that you cannot help but be on her side. — Collider

Laura Poitras has a point of view, she has passion, she has politics, and there never was any danger of her both-siding this raw, emotionally ferocious story of the world that Nan Goldin inherited and remade, one that she continues to remake with her brilliance and with all the bruises that never heal. CRITIC’S PICK! – The New York Times

It entered the festival circuit as a politically charged take on the standard there-goeth-the-great-artist story and exited it as A PEERLESS ACT OF PERSONAL RECLAMATION. I can’t shake the feeling of being shook by it. — Rolling Stone
