Never to return to the shape they were.

Still – 4/5

Well-crafted! The footage from his career plays well with carefully crafted, vague recreations that bleed into each other, forming a connective tissue that allows the movie to use his works to tell his life story. And it does a great job of telling that story through the lens of a single idea (the inability to be still). It's really well done, and you feel his pain, and you feel his strength. You see him cohere into form and then you see him dissolve, becoming a puddle struggling to regain form. But there, in the reflection, still him.
