...trivial. Even her back-up band, Elephant's Memory, is approximately infinitely better than the material deserves. I wouldn't mind that Ono can't include even two enjoyable sides of music in a four-sided album.

...Russells hands Gaudier Brzeska's life history has become the means to exploit in a richer vein Hollywood drivel about driven genius. His Graudier Brzeska is Artiste Extraordinaire; sacreligious, spontaneous ironic, innocent; ahead his time and shunned for flouting truth that shock prevailing social mores Russell films a disconnected string of melodramatic conceits to give us this bravura story of genius martyred through the neglect of bourgeois complacency...
