There's a whole lot of love but not necessarily a ton to say here, an issue that becomes increasingly apparent and reaches its apex at the interview-filled end credits.

Rated: 2.5/5

An endlessly fascinating, if initially somewhat disorganized, tour of key image makers of the past 50 years.

A loveletter to cinematography, but also a great primer for those unfamiliar with some of the most unsung heroes of cinema.

Any documentary going over a filmmaking aspectual position that supports the finalized picture to its intended glory with owned magic across the required production elements is bound to be fascinating, enriching with insightful depths valued inspiring, and feel good when the showcased subject faithfully captures the interviewed passions enough to not just feel but also absorbs through lenses. And this film, on the magic of cinematography following directions with their own expressions and how they try to maintain the magic of such in the growing digital age, is no exception. (A-)
