Merchant Ivory Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
A really interesting documentary.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Whether you're a fan of the company's work specifically or simply interested in the history of cinema, this portrait of its longest-lasting partnership will delight and entertain you.

Sarah Boslaugh
In a word, their films were classy, bringing a taste of high-brow culture to the movie screen and thus to towns all over America.

If you are a fan of their films than I'd recommend Merchant Ivory. It's a solid entertaining documentary and worth your time.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
"Merchant Ivory" is a fairly nuts-and-bolts look at the titular men behind the camera and their life-long relationship bolstered by many talking heads.
Boston Movie News
James Verniere
One of the most successful artistic partnerships in 20th century film history.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
What I found most refreshing in this is how they elevate these films again -- many of which were dismissed in their own time.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
I found it very interesting... Definitely a celebration of both their successful careers and lasting love and partnership.
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
Director Stephen Soucy has made a great film about making movies, a detailed account of the film production process that also finds room for biography and dishy gossip.
National Review
Armond White
Another example of how contemporary historians rewrite the past.
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
If the Merchant Ivory films meant anything to do at all, you'll probably love this.
High on Films
Vassilis Kroustallis
Ivory is a living legend, and "Merchant Ivory" does its best to place him and the Merchant Ivory company as one of the cornerstones of US indie filmmaking.
MovieWeb
Mark Keizer
Required viewing for those craving more information about a personal and professional relationship that was often just as fascinating as any Merchant Ivory film.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Whether you adore all their movies, admire just a few, or renounce them as big-screen Masterpiece Theater, Merchant Ivory provides an absorbing and unpredictable peek behind a curtain.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Whatever you think about the Merchant/Ivory movies -- some saw them as stodgy, conservative throwbacks -- the two were responsible for some of the most impeccably cast and best-acted movies of the 1980s and 1990s. That's quite an achievement.

Leonard Maltin
Not every documentary about filmmaking successfully dives beneath the surface as this one does. But then, few subjects are as rich or as deep as that of Ismail Merchant & James Ivory. In short they were one-of-a-kind. Make it a priority to catch this one
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
As an official certification of the team's significance, this documentary does the job, though there are times when it feels like a very good (and handsomely produced) box set supplement.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
More important and radically, the film explores groundbreaking depictions of the inner lives of gay men in several Merchant Ivory films.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
"Merchant Ivory" will almost certainly put you in the mood for a Merchant-Ivory movie, which might turn out to be even better than you remembered -- a period piece that, for all its trappings of the past, couldn't feel less remote.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Anyone with a fondness for these movies and for tales of what might be described as a gentlemen guerrilla filmmaking operation will find immense pleasure here.
