Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 83% of 24 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "It might be fairly standard in terms of format, but Kubrick by Kubrick still offers the rare treat of hearing the famously taciturn filmmaker address his own work."[7]
Owen Gleiberman, writing for Variety, said, "Everything in a Kubrick movie is delivered to you; every aspect of it is visually, logically, spatially, metaphysically built. Yet in each case what that exquisite structure contains, in its very concreteness, is a mystery. Kubrick controlled every last dimension of his movies. Except what they meant".[8] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "As a look at Kubrick's methods, madness and burning intelligence, Kubrick by Kubrick is fluent and discerning".[9] Eric Kohn of IndieWire said, "Kubrick by Kubrick lingers in the restless ingenuity at the heart of the filmmaker's work – a palpable desire to find new storytelling possibilities each time out".[6]
The film won Best Arts Programming at the 49th International Emmy Awards in 2021.[10]
