It doesn’t answer every question, but it mostly raises the right ones.

The candid interviews and remembrances make for a hagiographic but vivid dive into the career of the 20th century most's iconoclastic fashion photographer.

Rated: B

This is the perfect documentary for a post-boozy-brunch Sunday pandemic afternoon.

The main attraction here is the chance to look through all the Newton photography. There is some brief biographical material but it's mostly just candid interviews and scenes of him photographing models and visiting art galleries.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
