Full Plot Details

Real estate agent John Maloof explains how a trip to a local auction house, in search for old pictures to use for a history book about his neighborhood, resulted in him bidding and winning a box full of old negatives. John goes through the massive quantity of negatives, describes how impressed he is by the quality of the images, becomes quickly determined they are not reverent to his project and just puts them away. That could have very likely had been the end of the story, if the power of the images had not pushed him to fall in love with photography. John confides that his photo hobby quickly motivated him to set up a darkroom and devote large amounts of time printing. As he learned more about photography, he recognized that those negatives he had bought, then stored, were the work of a real master. In an attempt to confirm his suspicion, he selected about 100 images and put them online with the hope that the feedback would confirm his judgement as to the strength of the images.

Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaFinding Vivian Maier is a find in more ways than one.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by Peter RainerMaier is a great artist who discounted adulation entirely. Her life was a masquerade; her genius, quite literally, was unexposed.
Seattle Times - 10/10 by Moira MacDonaldMaier's work, interspersed throughout the film, lets us hear her voice: an array of faces gazing at us, meeting her camera, creating a tiny moment in time.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThe movie illustrates that baffling conundrum of the difference between great works of art and an artist with a seriously flawed character.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsVivian Maier is a great Chicago story. And what she did for, and with, the faces, neighborhoods and character of mid-20th century Chicago deserves comparison to what Robert Frank accomplished, in a wider format, with "The Americans."
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Mary HoulihanIt’s a big puzzle that the filmmakers piece together in an intriguing and engrossing way.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesThe portrait Maloof and Siskel assemble here from the scant information available suggests that her fanatical privacy was the darkroom in which her distinctive artistic personality was developed.
amNewYork - 9/10 by Robert LevinIt's a useful introduction to Maier's professional achievements, but the film really stands out thanks to the exhaustive interviews.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Joe WilliamsOne part personal mystery and one part art-appreciation class.
Columbus Alive - 9/10 by Brad KeefeTakes form as both an unfolding mystery and a portrait of an artist's mind (often a terrifying and fascinating place).
