Liberty: Mother of Exiles (2019) User Reviews

A fascinating tribute to the most famous statue in the world

Rather interesting how the French mayor came off rude to Diane von Fürstenberg. Great rare footage of the building of the statue and the area before her placement.

self-indulgence disguised as documentary

[hddu10-819-37458 · 7 November 2019]

This tedious and awkward display of self-indulgence is really too much to take for an average viewer, who no doubt will have left the program after the first 10 minutes. It's honestly as if a very uninteresting, lack-luster socialite had equally uninteresting friends over and brainstormed ways she could get in front of the camera...and this is the result. There is very little good info or footage about the actual statue of liberty, nor are there any real "deep-dives" into the so-called "exiles" grafted into the synopsis of this mess (you know...for relevance). Four stars for some of the original footage and background into Bartholdi...but not much else.

an intoduction

It represents a good start point for discover the story of Liberty statue. A lot of themes, many subjects, a sort of resume , nice for good intentions and for concept but not always convincing. More a sort of remind about, for significances and meanings, great monument . Short, a short history, useful as reasonable start point of personal searches.
