Plot summary

Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.

2019-5-19 Very complicated. At the beginning I thought she was a warm, kids loving, and quiet person. And then for some reason which was not revealed about her inner life in the movie that she got sick, even started to abuse children. Her works were amazing. People was a difficult object for photographing. I think most of us hoard things sometimes, but you just need to get rid of something when you feel stressed.

3 & 1/4 stars. This odd photographer is likely be the victim of child physical & sexual abuse. Her mental illness grows over time & she leaves behind a massive body of work that is beautiful.

So, John Maloof made this documentary about Vivian

So, John Maloof made this documentary about Vivian Maier, but honestly, it feels less like a tribute to her brilliant photography and more like a deep dive into the life of a woman who’s no longer around to defend her privacy. A privacy or mysteriousness she was very keen on maintaining during her life. Maloof says he's bringing her work to the world, which he does, but the film spends a lot of time turning her quirks into something freakish. All while Maloof kinda makes the whole thing about him. He can’t help but position himself as the “savior” of her work, and the self-congratulatory energy is not a good look. But here’s the thing: despite all the weirdness and sensationalism, Maier’s photos? They're stunning. They show real, messy humanity in the most beautiful way, and that’s what you walk away with. The rest of it is kind of like, who cares? We may never know her real or complete history, and it doesn't really have any bearing on her art. What matters is we get to see the world through her lens, and that’s a gift. Three stars because we got to see it.
