LEANING INTO THE WIND is a vibrant journey through the diverse layers of Andy Goldsworthy's world.

- Saw this last night at the Lagoon. What a masterpiece. HArd ot imagine doing justice to this artist but this film is utterly enchanting in the same way that his work is. A remarkable achievement of film making, editing and scoring. Go see it!!Reply
- [Riedelsheimer] catches up with Goldsworthy in Leaning Into the Wind, and finds the soft-spoken sculptor still making sublime works of art out of whatever nature throws at him.Reply
- It's a pleasant, eccentric wander through the artist's undertakings around the world, contrasted with time spent at his home in rural Scotland.Reply

- It's [Andy] Goldsworthy's version of a snow angel, a simple transitory image that will make you feel oddly happy during its short, earthbound existence.Reply
- By the documentary's end, the artist and the filmmaker have drawn you into their own meditative rhythms and philosophy.Reply
- The best way to experience Leaning into the Wind would seem to be in much the same way Goldsworthy experiences the nature that inspires him. Be an attentive watcher and listener - devoid of expectation.Reply
- Those that are modest of scale are still grand. ... The modest man finds awe before him and humbly embellishes it.Reply
- Leaning into the Wind: Andy Goldsworthy feels like a twilight look at Goldsworthy. That's not to say that the artist's productivity has in any way diminished.Reply

- A remarkable artist and man, Andy Goldsworthy, in Leaning into the Wind, is given a remarkable cinematic tribute.Reply
- I will admit that a documentary about art is a hard-sell. But Goldsworthy's work belongs on film the same way Planet Earth belongs in an IMAX theatre. Everything about it, from the opening credits to the final 10 minutes, is captivating.Reply
- There are moments where you may want to stop the film to assure yourself you're seeing what you're seeing, so disordering to the senses are Goldsworthy's re-orderings of nature.Reply
- Specialized filmmaking for art-minded audiences, but much like "Rivers and Tides," there's beauty, craftsmanship, and contemplation for all audiences, returning to a softly-spoken man who craves any chance he receives to put his hands all over the Earth.Reply
