About This Movie

Aggie (2020) dives deep into the intertwining worlds of art and social justice, centering on Agnes Gund, a notable art collector. The film’s pacing ebbs and flows, almost like the brush strokes on a canvas, inviting you to reflect as it tackles heavy themes like race and mass incarceration. There’s a certain rawness to Gund’s journey, as she navigates her own privilege while using her wealth for a cause that’s painfully relevant. The documentary feels intimate, with candid moments that expose both the beauty and the burden of her choices. It’s not just about the art; it’s about the people behind it and the impact of their actions. A distinctive piece that raises questions more than it answers.
