Narratively gripping, visually striking, and ultimately thought-provoking, Finding Vivian Maier shines an overdue spotlight on its subject's long-hidden brilliance.

Maier's life tells us one thing: great photographers always show themselves in their work, even if they never show their work. Nov 6, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Although Maier may not have welcomed this newfound, globally recognised appreciation herself, Maloof and Siskel have done a worthwhile job of at least putting her on the map. Apr 1, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The more riveting story is the one Maloof doesn't tell, about the controversy surrounding his "discovery" of Vivian... It's hard not to view Finding Vivian Maier as a glorified infomercial for The Maloof Collection. Dec 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Why make a film about an unknown nanny from New York? The answer is because Vivian took photos that are as beautiful and powerful as those of any of the greatest photographers. Jun 27, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

An absorbing and well edited documentary that unveils the life of this secretive and incredibly talented woman in an attempt to find out who she was, raising in the process inevitable questions about someone's right (or lack thereof) to expose the work of someone who died.
Super Reviewer
Two stories in one documentary: one is about a mysterious woman who hid world class photographic talent behind menial jobs as either nanny or maid, and the other addresses what happens when a professional graverobber discovers the goods. One story is interesting for it's humanity, the other is interesting for it's lack.
Normally it takes a lot for a Documentary to impress me, because I really need to be into the subject matter in order to invest myself in the story. I knew nothing about "Find Vivian Maier" before my viewing of it, and I must say, I was blown away. This film follows a young man who discovers a lost photographic talent in a late Vivian Maier and sets out to find out who she is in order to expose her amazing works to the world. We begin to learn that she was both an incredible and evil woman. This picture is very well put together in ever way. From knowing exactly who to interview, to showing the right amount of material through the editing process, the final outcome of this film is a very in-depth depiction of someone who is no longer alive. It is very rare that a Documentary can pull off a true story as real as this. In the end, there really is not much to complain about here, and it is one of the best Documentaries I have seen. I loved this film!
Collector John Maloof bought an old box at auction that turned out to contain professional-quality artistic photographs taken by a nanny named Vivian Maier; he sets out to convince the art world to exhibit her work, while trying to uncover the mysterious facts of this intensely eccentric and private woman's life. Maloof's passion for his subject is intoxicating, and is ultimately more interesting than the photographs themselves (good as they are).
