TRIBECA 2018 REVIEWS: Ondi Timoner's MAPPLETHORPE features a spot-on performance by Matt Smith
The artist just refused to give of himself to the people around him. Perhaps the film made that decision, too. Those missing pieces we yearn for simply might not be available, just as the artist refused to make his own soul available to those closest to him. Except, of course, through his art – but that was only incidental.
