Description
"Rappaport has virtually invented a new form of film criticism with Rock Hudson's Home Movies, a blend of clips and commentary... From the Journals of Jean Seberg impressively builds on that remarkable achievement. With Mary Beth Hurt playing the actress, Rappaport's 'fictional essays' reach territories that traditional documentaries largely struggle to explore."
— Jonathan Rosenbaum
"Rappaport's stylistic approach in this film is fascinating. He uses everything at his disposal, adapts it to his needs, invents what he doesn't know, and relies heavily on the technique of showing us film clips while telling us what to see in them. If it's true, as Jean-Luc Godard once said, that 'the history of cinema is the history of boys photographing girls,' then one of the tasks of film historians should be to discover what happened to the girls in that process."
— Roger Ebert
