Review of Finding Vivian Maier (2014) by Randy L — 08 Apr 2016

Like a giant gong struck during its opening segment, the flukey serendipity of the almost -lost- to -history of this major artist reverberates throughout this doc. its completely engrossing as simply a detective story.

but in that vein it could have done a better job of clearly laying every bit of factual, biographical information that is currently known about her, in a coherent, linear way. Was she taking photos at the end of her life? What is the last photo or series of photos we have of hers? Can we hear more audio from her cassette tapes? and, can we see even more of her photos? It seems like everything and everyone connected to her during her life and even after her life are also suffering in some degree with her brilliant insanity.
