• Poster: B+

Review:

Using the image that is evoked most frequently in the trailer works suitably well and captures easily Shulman's talent as a photographer and artist.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

I've always been fascinated with architecture, even if most of what's around me isn't that great, but the documentary looks interesting from a photography stand point as well, exploring how someone captures iconic images. Looks like a must-see for architecture lovers, photography enthusiasts and art cinephiles.

Oscar Prospects:

Such a crowded field and the film seems to lack controversy, so it will probably be overlooked.
