Directed by and starring Academy Award® nominee (for Best Actor) Ed Harris (The Truman Show, The Rock), POLLOCK is a beautifully-crafted, stunning drama about the legendary American painter, Jackson Pollock. Fellow artists and lovers, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner are at the center of New York's 1940s art scene, but as Krasner neglects her work to push Pollock's career forward, Pollock begins to unravel emotionally. Pollock and Krasner escape to the country and marry and, soon, Pollock creates work that makes him the first internationally-famous modern painter in America. But, with fame and fortune, comes a volatile temper and severe self-doubt; before long, Pollock's life threatens to explode. Featuring exceptional performances by a stellar cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden (Meet Joe Black, The First Wives Club), Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck), Val Kilmer (The Saint, Heat) and Jennifer Connelly (Requiem for a Dream).

Critics Consensus: Though Pollock does not really allow audiences a glimpse of the painter as a person, it does powerfully depict the creative process. Harris throws himself into the role and turns in a compelling performance.

Yasser Medina

A biopic that features stellar performances by Ed Harris and Marcia Gay Harden, but whose surface, unfortunately, has bland moments and advances at a slow pace similar to that of wet painting drying on the canvas surface. [Full review in Spanish]

Like too many other like-minded films, it assumes that a historical figure’s insufferable behavior automatically makes him or her a fascinating movie character. But there’s no faulting the performances.

a plodding glimpse of the latter part of Jackson Pollock's life

For better and worse, Pollock is an Action Painterly picture, an ambitious work of ambiguous surfaces.
