"[A] bombshell! 'Portrait of Wally' isn't just about stolen art: It's about cultural skulduggery, political sleaze, institutional hypocrisy and the virtues of persistence."
- John Anderson, Variety

"A cinematic masterwork about a painted masterpiece."
- E. Nina Rothe, Huffington Post

"An ace legal thriller, spinning a web of shame that snags everything from the Austrian government to America's most beloved not-for-profits."
- Eric Hynes, Time Out New York

"A surprisingly engaging account of a landmark case that shook up the art world."
- indieWire

"Portrait Of Wally tells a gripping story."
- Onion's AV Club

"A serpentine thriller"
- Graham Fuller, ARTINFO

"An energetic retelling of a tale well worth hearing!"
- George Robinson, Jewish Week

"Portrait of Wally, a testament to art's baffling ability to somehow encapsulate everything and nothing of life at once, deserves to be one of the docs that breaks into the American pop consciousness this year."
- Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine
