Synopsis

The documentary focuses on Eileen Gray, who worked in lacquer before launching a career as a designer, decorator, and later an architect. Her work in the field of architecture was largely overlooked until she was re-discovered.

Reception

The Times gave the film four out of five stars, as they felt it was "a fascinating documentary on the great modernist designer and architect Eileen Gray".[6] The Guardian gave Gray Matters three out of five stars, writing that "what makes this even more compelling is the supporting art-historical input from its numerous interviewees (I developed a particular soft spot for the dulcet-voiced Dr Jennifer Goff of the National Museum of Ireland), who collectively explicate Gray’s eclectic style, a playful, practical minimalism that evolved substantially over the years".[7]
