This is a watchable documentary about an aging fashion photographer from New York. He's a likeable chap with unusual philosophy. He doesn't seem to care for the same things that regular folk care for (money, love, comfort and so on), but instead devotes his life to the worship of unusual clothes.

It's hard to believe that he's not lonely, but he seems to honestly not regret his single-track life. He sums up his attitude with a beautiful quip: He who seeks beauty will find it. That sentiment resonates with me.

Enjoyable, affable, watchable, but not very revealing. Something dark is bubbling below the surface, and we catch a glimpse from time to time, but the documentary team are either too timid or too respectful to scratch the surface.

Probably more interesting for fashionistas.

This loving portrait of one of New York’s hardest-working sons doesn’t shy away from asking tough questions. Whether or not it answers them is immaterial — by the end, it’s impossible not to feel like you’ve spent a day or a year in Bill’s company, and his modesty, enthusiasm and good humour are bound to rub off.

How this didn't sweep all documentary awards last year is beyond me.

It has been said that it took Richard Press about 8 years to convince Bill Cunningham to grant him access to follow him around with a film crew to create a piece about his life and work. Two years later it would be finished and called "Bill Cunningham New York". It is one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen.

You really don't have to possess an interest in fashion, trends, photography, New York City, or anything that is deemed important to the man himself to see and enjoy this film. It's all about the fascinating individual that is being documented here, and wow is this man one of the more intriguing, selfless, and pure people there is.

Just so we don’t end on a complete downer I’d like to draw your attention to Bill Cunnigham New York. It is another triumphant release from Dogwoof, who are fast becoming my favourite distributer. Cunningham is the pioneer of street fashion photographer; with such a reputation amongst the fashion world that even Anna ‘Nuclear’ Wintour gives up her time to extol his virtues. The fashion world is not one that I know or care anything about but what we have here is a portrait of an unassuming and unpretentious gentleman who loves what he does and seems oblivious to the impact that he has on the world around him. A man so humble that he even works at a function honouring his own lifetime achievement.

I saw this documentary pop up on my Netflix recommendation bar and remembered Roger Ebert saying how much he liked it...so I gave it a shot. Great documentary about an interesting person. It is refreshing to see a documentary that doesn't have an agenda other than to educate & entertain.

Really remarkable subject in great portrait. I am uncultured so I wasn't sure who Bill Cunningham was before this documentary, but I am now a fan.

I really couldn't care less about fashion, but this is a very interesting and enjoyable documentary about the esteemed, eccentric fashion photographer of the title, who has ridden around New York on a Schwinn (his 29th, the first 28 were stolen!) for decades, snapping pictures of anyone who catches his eye, be it celebrity, college student, or bag lady.

The documentary isn't particularly deep, but it is highly entertaining, steeped in New York culture, and Cunningham himself is an American original, a thoroughly engaging, charmingly strange dude who is immensely likeable and intriguing on many levels.

A simple man in the best sense of the word, Bill Cunningham navigates the most complex culture in the world: New York fashion and society. With a camera, a bicycle, and a kind heart, Cunningham has obsessively photographed the "city that never sleeps" for the New York Times. His story is touching and fascinating and a bit sad. The hardest part of watching this film is knowing that Bill Cunningham will eventually stop pedaling and photographing his way through the city.

Fascinating documentary about a man with more passion and joy in one day than I think I'll experience in my entire life. His drive is admirable and strange without being crazy and the results are frequently breathtaking. There's a sadness to the Carnegie Hall storyline, like watching the demolition of the breeding ground for some many individuals as unique and amazing as Bill.

A delightful film about a delightful man. The photos and the culture were great, but Bill Cunningham is a real human being. He understands the importance of simple kindness. He pursues the beautiful without apology and with much enthusiasm. And his attention is directed completely outward. Cunningham really does see the world beyond himself, and as a result, is a man with a full and happy life.
