Never did I dream that I would find a movie about a fashion photographer so compelling. A highly charming and funny story of an 82-year-old man who is in love with the world. His unflagging humanism makes me reconsider and, in fact, feel a little ashamed of my lifelong cynicism and misanthropy

One of the easiest to watch and even inspiring docs I've seen in a while. Photographer Bill Cunningham documents New York fashion at all socio-economic levels and yet stands apart from it. It's rare to see someone so immersed in work and so true to an idiosyncratic politic. "Money is cheapest," Bill says. "Liberty, freedom, that's expensive."

Bill Cunningham is arguably the biggest baller in existence. He is insanely likable and awesome. His whole outlook on life is absorbing as is this fantastically put together documentary as a whole. A must of 2011.

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.

You cannot watch this film - whether you're aware of Bill Cunningham and his work or not - and not be charmed by Bill. I've very little interest in fashion per se - although Wiseman's film 'Model' is superb - but Press manages here to work with Bill to make an entertaining and poignant film about fashion as the art of the people. Unlike 'Finding Vivian Maier', another film about a photographer, this film does not reduce Bill to an oddity.

Bill sure is one very humble individual and more of a societal documentarian than you every day photographer. Do I like the pretentious human beings whose work is merely creating pretentious clothes for even more pretentious people and getting paid ridiculous amounts of money? No, I hate it. But money is flowing into the West from all parts of our planet so they are able to do it. Bill is whole other league though.

To be honest, you understand the concept behind this documentary within the first five minutes. From there, if you stick around, you get placed in the diplomatic Cunningham's shoes & get to watch these peacock dressed people flutter about through NYC & Paris. There's some insight into the man himself, but only speculation drizzled with rare hard facts. As Cunningham would want, this is more about an interest in clothing. Backing this up by casting an incognito figure through a study of himself.

I was interested in this movie for three reasons: photography, pop culture, and New York City. It delivers on all three fronts. Bill Cunningham's sheer integrity is admirable, and it's a lot of fun to watch all the outrageous things people wear. And not only did I get New York, I got Paris.

"Bill Cunningham is astutely defined by Bill Cunningham New York as not simply a traditional photographer of clothing, but an anthropological historian." - Nick Schager

I wasn't familiar with Bill Cunningham before watching it but that man's passion for his work is admirable and inspiring.

Never heard of him before and his importance to the New York fashion scene. I really like the guy, so humble, just goes about his business and gets stuff done.

As I watched this I couldn't help but silently compare it to The September Issue in the back of my mind and I think more highly of this movie because of that.
