Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The world may be going Mad Men, but Doug Pray's documentary Art & Copy presents a very different picture of the advertising industry.
Fresh: An entertaining but also oddly naive documentary about American advertising.
Rotten: Everyone quoted here, and perhaps Pray himself, wants to be seen as an artist. But in this economy, those of us who pay for ordinary stuff might not be so inclined to worship this particular art form.
Rotten: When all is said and done, Art & Copy is little more than an ad for advertising.
