“Of course, it must be noted that nobody goes to see a Woody Allen movie for nuanced portrayals of the working class.

“A film of lovely moments and quiet reflection, director Fernando Trueba’s The Artist and the Model takes a tender gaze at the creative process. Avoiding the hot-blooded emotional histrionics of most movie portraits of artists, this is a gentle picture emphasizing discipline, hard work and patience.” – Metro, 08/22/2013
