Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Suggests the sacrifices required of those who live in an artist's orbit, but it fails to offer what groupies surely want, which is insight into Refn's creative process.
Corfixen documents her husband's creative process as well as his mental state, which comes in two basic modes: confidently inspired and nervously despondent.
Writer-director Liv Corfixen works harder to coddle Drive director Refn, her husband and subject, than she does to get inside his head.
