	Media	Author	Review
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"This is a must-watch experience for devotees (...) and it’s essential viewing for those only passingly familiar with Hemingway as a pop culture figure (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		James Poniewozik The New York Times	"'Hemingway' doesn’t separate art and artist. Hemingway didn’t either (...) The resulting biography is cleareyed about its subject but emotional about his legacy"
		Roxana Hadadi AV Club	"An immersive portrait of the author’s brilliance and cruelty"
		Mark Feeney Boston Globe	"Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s ‘Hemingway’ shows that the writer’s greatest creation was also his darkest: himself"
		Kiko Martinez Variety	"An engaging and beautifully constructed character study and proof that whatever Burns chooses to cover as a filmmaker will more than likely become the definitive documentary on that specific topic"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[Its running time] might not qualify as Hemingway-esque brevity, but proves fascinating nevertheless."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The key to the success of 'Hemingway' is that its creators and talking heads (...) bring on the experts to explain how Hemingway rewrote the literary rulebook (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"As exhaustive and substantive as one would expect (...) What makes 'Hemingway' work (...) is the almost text-by-text analysis of his writing"
