Heinz Butler's documentary about famed photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson is deeply frustrating because of its brevity and its lack of solid information and historical context.

Top CriticSince Cartier-Bresson died shortly after filming was completed, at age 95, it stands as a rare record of the thoughts and mannerisms of a man who lived through the camera but preferred to avoid its all-seeing eye.

There is no theme, no point, no history, no illuminating insights.

Top CriticWhat distinguishes Cartier-Bresson's photographs, and what makes him a great artist, is his consistency and compassion.

Any documentary that shows so many Cartier-Bresson images has worth (though why they couldn't be shown in tighter close-up is a source of considerable frustration).

Top CriticThis austere documentary portrait of the pioneering photojournalist is not a biography but an interview conceived as a master class on art appreciation.

Top CriticThe Impassioned Eye makes that genius disarmingly accessible.

Top CriticWhen the photographer perks up the results are delightful.

Top CriticI'm not sure if this wispy doc is a preferable alternative to an intimate evening at home flipping through a Cartier-Bresson photo collection.

The movie is content to let Cartier-Bresson muse unremarkably.

Does anyone still need to be persuaded of Cartier-Bresson's greatness? The famous faces Bütler interviewed add to our sense of the photographer's accomplishment only when they supply personal details.
