      The charm of character documentaries

      When I first started watching this documentary, I was curious about the people who started the various interviews and the people they were narrating, and I think it was a clever start, and as the documentary progressed, it made the audience feel like they were following John Malu Husband to find together, there will be a sense of participation. The protagonist's job as a babysitter will make people feel ordinary, but her photography works and the way she gets along with...

From the shock at the huge number of her negatives, to the curiosity when she learned her nanny status, she followed the clues and moved forward, and gradually perfected it. Vivian's image, in the mouths of others, she is kind, eccentric, mysterious, manic, lonely... In any case, she loves photography, but also loves life.

      a lonely but great soul

      This withdrawn, neurotic, calm, vigilant, sensitive woman, with her sheer curiosity and enthusiasm for life, is out of this world. Her unusual persistence is even more difficult for ordinary people to understand.

      film review

      A nanny who has been working in obscurity for 40 years, a withdrawn, calm, neurotic, vigilant, and sensitive woman, a serious photography enthusiast, a woman with a camera hanging around her neck wherever she goes, a woman who is later known as one of the most talented people in the 20th century. The legendary woman of one of the great photographers. Her story can be summed up beautifully: the story of a talented young woman who is discovered after her death. But it can also be very...

      An authentic eye, and a real savvy about human nature

      A private, mysterious, eccentric, tall nanny who pays great attention to privacy and personal space, a photographer who always wears a camera, walks fast, and throws her hands straight. As the documentary progresses, her image gradually grows. Brighten up.

      Different families and people have different memories and perceptions of her. She hides where she comes from, was born in New York but uses fake accent to present herself as French. She doesn't...

      The people and the work are interesting enough, but the narrative of the whole work is a bit mediocre. Some questions deserve more pressing, and some threads should have more obvious echoes. Now this finished product, no matter how you look at it, it's a sigh of...

      1. We have never been able to understand the real and comprehensive Vivian. In my opinion, her identity and professional personality are not so important. I care more about her artistic side. The emotional and emotional story content revealed by the work itself is Vivian herself. Artists need such a paranoid side, and I appreciate this side to understand this side, and immerse in this side to enjoy this side. 2. The work is really pleasing to the...

    Movie plot

    Vivian Maier and the painter Van Gogh had a similar situation of underappreciation, and their works were excavated and recognized after their death. She was never married and never had close relatives or friends. Vivian worked in obscurity as a nanny in the suburbs of Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s, and no employer knew that she was also a good street photographer. Marginalized figures are the subjects of Vivienne Meyer's photography,...
