Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields

"Shields is a wonderful conversationalist, telling her life story in a way that sounds like how she would one-and-one."

"The documentary’s most absorbing ingredient by far is its excellent collage of archival footage."

"Insightful, occasionally jarring, well-crafted and ultimately inspirational..."

"Nothing much is revealed in the two-parter we don’t already know."

"While the weight of the content packs a hefty punch... the film itself isn’t structurally sophisticated."

"While Pretty Baby hits all the key moments of Shields’ life... necessary context is often an afterthought."

"Wilson doesn’t make this easy viewing for voyeuristic audiences."

"The filmmaker makes a solid and well-told documentary; in the end, you feel like you made a friend."

"Ultimately, this is a redemption story in which Shields exorcises the ghosts of her youth, buoyed by our culture’s shifting ideas about women."

"Absorbing and relevant, if rarely revelatory."
