Workingman's Death Ratings & Reviews
Film Scouts
Jason Gorber
It's a rewarding film with some elements I may never forget.
WBAI Web Radio
Prairie Miller
Labor as decorative and devoid of meaning.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
This documentary about men and women performing brutal work tasks for next to no money is full of arresting and eloquent images.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Visually, technically, the film is undeniably a work of art, with all aspects -- sound, editing, cinematography, music -- coming together in a stunning symphony.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
There's scant dialogue in Workingman's Death, but little is needed when majestic camera work by Wolfgang Thaler tells the story so well.
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
It's not exactly a good time at the movies, and even as pure education, it's a rather dull film with very little dialogue.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Michael Glawogger's glamorized documentary observes laborers from around the world going to hell and back, day after day, year after year, to eke out subsistence livings.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The patina of this avant-garde exercise is swanky and alluring, but chip away at it and you will expose a hollow center.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Glawogger is an extraordinarily elegant filmmaker with a photographer's eye for striking compositions.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Glawogger's film may be thematically loose-jointed, but Wolfgang Thaler's cinematography is the glue.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Comes soaked in good old-fashioned humanist respect for the dignity of labor, but eventually grows a little monotonous.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Astonishingly powerful documentary about really, really hard work.
