Sasha Waters Freyer's documentary provides a vivid appreciation of this long-gone but still vivid talent...

[Garry Winogrand] seems very much alive in Sasha Waters Freyer's richly detailed documentary.

All Things are Photographable reminds me of what brash, unselfconscious documentation of the dramatic, teeming nature that our interactions can be.

Captures the vitality of this street photographer eye-omnivore and the range of what the world at large transmitted to his roving gaze.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 18, 2019
[Winogrand] seemed to prefer letting his work do the talking for him, and yet the film does not follow his lead and instead includes a great deal of discussion about Winogrand the artist, most of it fawning.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2019
The whole thing plays like a well curated museum exhibit - a retrospective to counter and/or complete the one held shortly after his death in 1984. The material is worth seeing, but doesn't really demand a big screen.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 30, 2018
A tour through Winogrand's unique sensibility and a changing America, the film charts a career now enshrined in the canon of photography but which was, like most artists' lives, more difficult in the living.

[Director Sasha] Freyer's fast-paced, antsy profile of a man whom curator Szarkowski called "the central photographer of his generation" is here for us to dash through, admiringly.

He never gave up, never stopped shooting. It was a well-lived life because he apparently discovered that it mattered after all.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 29, 2018
A Winogrand photograph invites you to ponder its tantalizing mystery, an enticement this able documentary unquestionably appreciates.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2018
Calling the film "postmodern" would be a good way to summarize how unforgivingly the film is dedicated to tearing down the aura of the modernist Great Man of Art and Culture that has come to define so many (male) artists and auteurs.

Winogrand's verite style is jaw-dropping. So is his perceptiveness in chronicling an America undergoing a social metamorphosis in the 1960s. His mixture of blacks and whites in black and white are stark, haunting and revealing.
| Original Score: B | Oct 13, 2018
The documentary's heart, soul, and digestive system is the cascade of photographs that Freyer keeps coming. Many are familiar, and thus welcome. Many more are not, and thus even more so.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2018
A balanced and deeply satisfying documentary assessment of his work...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2018
A sumptuous collection of Garry Winogrand's iconic photos do the storytelling.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 8, 2018
Both a fine introduction for those who don't know the work and a thoughtful examination of the issues surrounding him for those who do.
| Oct 4, 2018
Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable is an elegant, tender ode to Winogrand, but it's no hagiography.
| Oct 3, 2018
Freyer's talking heads implore that Winogrand was a man of his time, a statement that mitigates the intensity of her examination and means absolutely nothing.
| Sep 21, 2018
All Things Are Photographable isn't contemptuous of Winogrand's boorishness; any honest reflection of his life and work has to deal with the unvarnished whole of both, as he always did.
| Original Score: B | Sep 20, 2018
