Very interesting. What a woman! But - I wasn't at all surprised to discover that this film was made by a family member - it's not very balanced or critical.

But - I wasn't at all surprised to discover that this film was made by a family member - it's not very balanced or critical. It would have been interesting to have some other points of view, go into things deeper. It's also not edited very well. A must see for all photographers though.
Very entertaining, and informative documentary about one of America's most treasured modern day photographers.
Ich habe ein Faible fuer Fotografie und fuer New York und ganz besonders fuer lesbische Fotografinnen in New York. Deshalb habe ich mir diese Dokumentation sehr gerne angesehen und werde das vermutlich auch noch ein paar Mal tun. Aber Annie Leibovitz...

Deshalb habe ich mir diese Dokumentation sehr gerne angesehen und werde das vermutlich auch noch ein paar Mal tun. Aber Annie Leibovitz bleibt mir nach diesem Film ein groesseres Raetsel als zuvor. Ich weiss nicht, was ich von dieser Frau halten soll. George W. Bush ablichten muss ja wirklich nicht sein.
La pasión en el trabajo, la excelencia y el compromiso para ser la mejor.
Annie a través de sus imagenes, imagenes que son mas que fotografias.
Muy bueno.
I love Annie, so this was pure pleasure. The special features are well-done, too.
I adore her work so much. She is not a photographer she actually paints and tells stories. Just amazing work.
A good biographical documentary of an iconic visual artist whose work is instantly recognizable. It is difficult to capture the brilliance of her photographs in the medium of film, and the director, who is also her sister, does her best to bring it ... (read more) A good biographical documentary of an iconic visual artist whose work is instantly recognizable. It is difficult to capture the brilliance of her photographs in the medium of film, and the director, who is also her sister, does her best to bring it off. The attempt to tell the story of how Annie's work evolved through interviews with her subjects, her co-workers, her associates and her employers was interesting, but not compelling. The closest we came to seeing behind the persona, was when Annie was talking about Susan Sontag's final days. They had been long-time companions, and her humanity showed through briefly in those moments. For the rest of the film, it felt like we were being shown what the artist herself and the director wanted us to see. But the essential Annie Leibovitz remained hidden behind the mask of her celebrity. There is nearly an hour of extras that appear to be the interviews and scenes that didn't make the final cut. They do help to flesh out and expand on the themes in the main body of the film. I liked it, overall. It presents to the viewer an overview of her life and work. I just didn't find enough to really grab my heart. Not enough there to compel one to look.
just go to theater and enjoy her great works! and you'll know yourself wanting her exhibition so bad. ;)
