3.5 stars out of 4 -- In the end, FILMWORKER is a portrait of an unsung hero, a revealing look at how Kubrick's films were made and a psychological sketch of a would-be Da Vinci determined to keep dusting and polishing someone else's Sistine Chapel.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Filmworker works best when poking holes in the altar of genius men whose attention to detail is almost always inexplicably tethered to being an outright bastard.

Spectrum Culture
Rating: 3/4 --
"Filmworker's" greatest value lies in pulling the lens back to allow viewers to understand film as a deeply collaborative medium, one in which even the most venerated auteurs cannot accomplish their greatest feats alone.

Washington Post
4 stars out of 5 -- In this edifying, occasionally troubling documentary, we learn that Vitali gave up acting, choosing instead to learn the craft of film-making from Kubrick’s side.
The Guardian
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Few voices are missing from this incredibly thorough piece of work. Zierra has rounded up dozens of cast and crew members with stories to tell, and though the film is densely packed with information, nothing feels extraneous.

Eye for Film
4 stars out of 5 -- [The] compelling documentary offers rare on-set footage and surprising glimpses into the auteur’s MO, but the portrait that sticks is of Vitali himself.
Empire
Rating: 4/5 --
There is something genuinely touching about Kubrick's blind faith in Vitali.
