Customer Reviews of My Architect: A Son's Journey

A Perfect Film
Nathaniel Kahn's search for his Father is an unsentimental, real life epoch detailing Louis Kahn's commitment to his art - Architecture. It is wonderfully told and beautifully photographed, including breathtaking images of Kahn's "other" children, his buildings. Kahn's private life is dealt with honestly and without regret. Each of the two times I have seen the film, the audience expressed it's appreciation with applause and I have come away wanting to see it again.

One of the best movies Ive seen..ever.
I went into this film as an architecture student, but this film was so wholly moving that it doesn't matter if you're an architect or not. I started crying about 15 minutes in, and didn't stop until the credits began to role. It's amazing to see this great man's life, to bring Louis Kahn down from his pedestal and realize how fully human and imperfect he was. This movie displays not only how his buildings affected the mindset of entire countries, but also how his personal life affected, often painfully so, the lives of those closest to him.
This movie really is a son's journey, and we see candidly the son's discovery of his father as he never knew him, as well as the son's struggle to piece together his own identity as it relates to his father's many different "lives".
This film has an almost spiritual depth, and leaves one with a refreshed appreciation for the beauty of art and life.

A Glorious Movie
This is the only movie I've wanted to see more than once in the past several years. It is also the only one I've cried at in years. The photography is stunning. The honesty of the emotions is something very rare, and the insight he shows toward the "Kahn women" should be an example for every filmmaker.
