Write an ordered list of reviews about "national gallery".
1. One of cinema's Old Masters returns with this poetic and profound dissection of art and storytelling.
2. The more you know, the more you want to stampede to the museum to see these works in person.
3. National Gallery is a celebration of art and of anyone who loves it, shares it and protects it, and one can't help feeling inspired by being in such company.
4. Sitting there with something like National Gallery, it's not the rush of time you feel. It's the rush of applied skill.
5. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then there are at least a million things worth talking about in National Gallery.
6. [The film invites] you to consider not only the many efforts to situate art but also how art might elude definition, and how people's stories about art can be awkward and self-regarding, however earnest and insistent.
7. The resulting three-hour work is more engrossing, fascinating and, needless to say, informative than anything in those Night at the Museum movies.
8. Art lovers will be chuffed that Frederick Wiseman's put his fly-on-the wall camera inside London's National Gallery. Unfortunately, he wasn't shooting during a particularly interesting period.
9. For the first hour, the film is utterly fascinating. But then, Wiseman's leisurely pacing begins to become tiresome, and a sense of been-there/done-that sets in as the viewer experiences yet another gallery talk and watches yet another boardroom meeting.
10. The real subject of this documentary is looking at people looking: it's the faces of all the people who pass through the National Gallery, some bored, some uncomprehending, others deeply moved, even transfixed.
