Bill Cunningham is an endearing fashion photographer who lives in a small, cramped NYC apartment packed to the rafters with his photographs. Even more remarkable is his seemingly humble background or otherwise “normalness.” Although he…

This very watchable and enjoyable documentary made me want to carry a camera everywhere I go and photograph all the fascinating fashions that pass by. This is what the subject of the movie did and his passion for doing so is infectious. …

If you like this wonderful documentary on the octogenarian, bike-riding, New York City street fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham, you may also like his posthumously published memoir, “Fashion Climbing” which provides a glimpse inside…

Bill Cunningham was a wonderful guy and this comes through in the movie. But the filmmaker only needed to put the camera on him discretely and that story would have been told. The footage of Bill is great and extensive. The other NYC…

A true delight for anyone who likes biopics about honorable, talented, passionate people. Bill Cunningham has photographed street fashion for decades and published his photos in a regular column in the NYTimes. To give you an idea of his…

Interesting film. His whole life was about taking pictures of people. He did not do much else. He seemed happy though.

Bill's a peach of a man. He follows his passion and refuses to sell out. He has 28 bikes stolen from him while living in Carnegie Hall and attends church every Sunday. He states it's nearly impossible to remain honest and straight in New…

Delightful bioflic! This is very inspiring in a most elevating way. If you are struggling to do your work, whatever it might be, I think you will get some ideas about what success means.

Bill Cunningham is one-of-a-kind. A friend returned home from NYC a few months ago and was thrilled to report she'd spotted him pedaling down the street.

Like some who give their life to the Church, Bill Cunningham has given his life to fashion. Bicycling around New York City snapping photos of ordinary people dressing for art, working late into the evenings covering black tie events, this…

I loved this movie! It was full of so many brilliant, interesting and totally unique people, like Bill Cunningham himself. How can you not be inspired by the joy he takes in his work? And I loved the flamboyant dressers that he photographs…

This documentary was highly recommended to me by several people in the last few years so I finally decided to watch it. It did a good job of creating an odd, sad, somewhat lifeless mood when dealing with seemingly nice but odd people who…

Great Watch! Bill Cunningham may be the only asexual person I have ever come across thus far. Also, he appreciates 'human weirdness' and i like that!

A must see for those who love Fashion. Bill Cunningham is a modest man with an extraordinary eye for the trends and wild hairs of fashion.

Have to admit that I had never heard of Bill Cunningham but after this doc I feel like I've lived along side him and its a great tale to tell. Obsessed by the detail of fashion, he chronicles high society, the fashion runway and the…

Nice documentary about a nice guy.

This was not what I thought it would be. I thought this documentary would simply follow Bill Cunningham about as he took photos of the rich, the famous, and the kooky (ho-hum). Although, there was a lot of that, this was more about Bill…

A fitting and overdue tribute to veteran New York Times columnist and fashion photographer Bill Cunningham (born 1929, still working harder than most people half his age), known for his innovative and candid but also deeply humane images…

This is a fabulous film. Cunningham is a living legend and it's so great that they've captured and documented him in action. Thanks for making this film available, HPL!
