Frieda Lee Mock's Oscar-winning documentary on the artist who, while still a student in architecture at Yale, won the design competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and then weathered a heavy storm in order to collect on her prize. After covering that fascinating territory, the movie becomes a chronology of unchallenged triumphs and blossoming self-confidence. It becomes, more simply, a promotional profile, a sounding-off platform. And for a movie ostensibly devoted to art, it pays little attention to its own appearance, and conveys little sense of the space and scale and so on of the artist's works. (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
