Kindest New Yorker with a heart of gold deserves this celebration about his life
I can't positively gush about this movie more than any other viewercan. This documentary warms the heart and allows people to see a sideof life not many seem to slow down enough to view. I had never heard ofhim before watching this, but Bill truly is a great man. This moviemakes me want to slow down and appreciate the everyday styles thatpeople choose. I loved the various side-interviews with notablesubjects of his photographs and colleagues, many of whom have similarlyquirky yet important stories to tell. The music was so well graftedinto the scenes that you may overlook it, but it guides the times andNew York-living so well that it shouldn't be overlooked, either. Ifyou're looking for a heart-warming documentary about a very importantfigure and artist in modern fashion photography, you'll enjoy learningabout Bill as much as I did.

More Grey Gardens than Grey Lady--or Shoulda Been
I rated this movie highly because i enjoyed its portrayal of a manpassionate about his work, principled in his approach to it,plainspoken, etc. But i think the director missed should've delved moredeeply into what was fueling his workaholism and critics miss the boatwhen they explain away his lack of personal life as a result of anall-consuming passion for fashion or Calvinist work ethic. I'm surethose are both true, but they're hardly the whole truth. As a result,even though I initially felt about the movie much the same as the othercommenters here, the more i think about it, the more I see aregrettable failure to explore how rejection by family and church dueto homosexuality can warp an individual, create such self-hatred thathe keeps the world at a distance by filling all his waking hours withwork, and spending his working hours hiding behind a lens. Onecharacter trait that is evident is need for absolute control overselection of pics, layout, etc., even to the point of working for nomoney. This could either be because he completely lacked the socialskills to compromise or because he just needed to assert control overthe little slice of life's possibilities that he had allowed himself.Fortunately for Bill, the work he threw himself into to the exclusionof everything else life has to offer happened to be something he wasboth passionate about and had an aptitude for, so we can all enjoy thefruits of his pathology. And I'm sure that's the kind of film the NYTimes wanted and probably the only way Bill would agree to be filmedfor this project (it was years getting him to sign on). Anyway, movieis completely enjoyable, but, like I said, treating as lovable quirksthe fact that this man has lived a life sleeping on a twin platform bedsurrounded by file cabinets, his wardrobe pretty much the clothes onhis back, no real friends to speak of, etc., seems to be a major flawof this otherwise interesting film.
