In his review, Dante Ciampaglia says:

"To call E.1027: Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea a documentary—as some have—is to do it (and documentaries) a disservice. The film is something else, something stranger, more impressionistic. The general contours of a reenactment-heavy docu-drama are there in director Beatrice Minger’s exploration of Gray’s life as an avant-garde designer who in 1929 built, with Romanian architect and writer Jean Badovici, E-1027, a Modernist villa on the shores of Cape Martin, France. But it’s not the plodding experience you’d get from, say, PBS. Rather, it’s an art film mash-up of documentary, narrative fiction, home movie, and black-box theater. It’s a nervy approach to subjects ripe for the staid archi-doc treatment of clinical examination: Gray, the house, Modernism. Approaching them the way Minger and her collaborators have, though, feels honest and creates an uncommon encounter with architectural history. "
