Highlights: 1: It is clear and structured, and it is easy to take a seat on Vivian Maier's life, and also has a more appropriate and intuitive expression of Vivian Maier's achievements and influence.

2: The director found as many as dozens of people who had personal contact or even shared life with Vivienne Maier, which greatly enhanced the authenticity of the documentary and made the content very rich. And the people interviewed have almost run through Vivian Maier's life, which can infect the audience very much.

As an ordinary person, Vivienne Meier took 150,000 photos by herself, but she never made them public and never thought of becoming famous. She is an ordinary dream chaser who insists on what she wants to do and brings an incredible life story to this impetuous society. I remember someone saying, I forget who said it: Doing a good thing and not wanting to be known is the real virtue. I really admire Vivian Maier: This is my own business, what does it have to do with others?

Disadvantages: It is too well-established, except for Vivian Maier's own story, there is nothing attractive, and it is easy to fall asleep.

    You look at the benches with the remnants of snow on the street corners, leaving a lonely soul to stop there. She was eccentric, dragging her heavy luggage to and fro from house to house to her employer's house, finding a world where one party didn't want to be disturbed. She walks the streets with the ability to enter the stranger's space, and uses the camera to record the poverty and wealth, absurdity and noise of this world. One can only speculate on how Vivian's arrogant life is kept apart from this world, and yet reluctantly embraces it.

    IFC She wanted to see how close she could get, and more importantly, she cared. Vivian, who is hiding in her own little world, cares about everything in this world: crying children, weak old people, dependent couples, and animal deaths. She hoarded newspapers, collected bills, and the vast sea of ​​more than 100,000 negatives, as if trying desperately to keep the world in her little attic. She couldn't go out, so she stayed.
