Colorful, humorous, splendid, and original !, Aug 29 1999

Ce commentaire est de: Never Met Picasso (VHS Tape)
This film is truly a find ! Arquette is fabulous- as usual, but equally as engaging is Georgia Ragsdale who does a great Jackie-O impersonation in the film. This is one of Don McKellar's more interesting roles, and the old grandfather (Alvin Epstien) brought tears to my eyes. A beautifully photographed film with layers and layers of truths, humour, and sincerety. From female artists who have been forgotton in history, to family secrets, to finding true love and following our hearts,this film has a voice and a message!

A weird and wonderful gem of a film!, Aug 20 1999

This is Arquette at his best. The film is a little low on plot but is high on ideas - its thought provoking, tender, strange and really beautiful - the cast is great (I loved Margot Kidder and that crazy psychic painter!). It's like John Waters does Antonioni - a real artful film. This 'story' of a young gay painter and his search for inspiration is filled with unusual characters and small life lessons that are touching and haunting. Like nothing I've seen before!

AMUSING ...PICASSO., May 29 2000
By "adriank1" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Never Met Picasso (VHS Tape)
Somewhat hilariouslly amusing gay-comedy of dysfunctional families and friend's, loose moral's and plenty of partner-swapping bed-hopping hi-jinx set amongst Boston's Art community of gallery opening's, hammy-theater performing numerous drug & drink cocktail-partie's and you've got a movie called NEVER MET PICASSO.Plot is thin and shallow and never really goe's anywhere as character's drop in and out of scenes from nowhere and do nothing.
However Andy(Alexis Arquette) is a frustrated(in more way's than one)30 yr-old gay painter whom enter's a contest to win a trip to Africa for much needed inspiration.
His self-centered mother actress Genna Magnus(Margot Kidder) is vexed by her directionless son and is preoccupied with the world's worst play Naked Tenor(so awful it's funny).
Andy's Uncle(Alvin Epstein) is also gay and keeper of a family-secret.
Other numerous notable friend's are Lesbian childhood-pal Lucy(Georgia Ragsdale) whom shine's the brightest.
All in all fine performances by all cast in a much needed tighter written script by 1st timer director Stephen Kijak, but passable.
Pace drag's along slowly and could've benefitted with some forward-momentom. Amusing.
Listmania!
