Synopsis: A documentary on the late Vivian Maier, a nanny whose previously unknown cache of 100,000 photographs earned her a posthumous reputation as one the most accomplished street photographers.

There is an argument that this documentary could be seen as an invasive look at a private woman's life-long work. It may also be something she never wanted to be unearthed — and at times — the movie can be guilty of stepping over the mark when examining her motives and decisions regarding her outlook on life. Either way, it's a fascinating piece of documentary work that probes away at an unsolved mystery. — James Arthur Armstrong
