Chasing Portraits Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Still [Rynecki] effectively captures a raft of emotional beats, especially those involving her kindly, Holocaust-survivor dad, who prefers to keep his dark childhood at arm's length.

Odie Henderson
I felt a strong connection to the director's desire to bond with her ancestors through art.

Chasing Portraits is less about the value of the art but the story behind it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Too often coming across as an elaborate home movie, Chasing Portraits would have benefited from its story being told by a more experienced filmmaker who was less emotionally involved in the proceedings.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
"Chasing Portraits" is small and subtle, with some missed opportunities and occasionally inexpert filmmaking. But it's not an insignificant effort, and Ms. Rynecki's cause is admirable.
Nonfics (Substack)
Dylan Brennan
With its compelling tale of a family's trauma and recovery, Elizabeth's story is captivating throughout every stage of her journey.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Its major contribution, as one museum curator suggests, may be to bring the works of Moshe Rynecki back into prominence.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
More about her feelings...audience viscerally shares her whirligig of emotions during her search; she's especially sensitive in not pushing her father on difficult memories.
