Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"As an autobiography told in pictures rather than words, CAMERAPERSON makes a strong case for the merits of the observational life." -- Grade: B - 09/07/2016 A.V. Club
4 stars out of 4 -- "[A]n unusual, marvelous film, which is about all the things that it shows us and all the things it doesn’t show us, and all the good reasons for showing and not showing, remembering and forgetting." - 09/08/2016 RogerEbert.com
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[Y]ou will not find a more moving, personal testament to the importance of bearing witness 24 frames per second, one digitized shot at a time." - 09/09/2016 Rolling Stone
"It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before....A unique and affecting memoir." - 09/08/2016 New York Times
"It’s an unusual and promising concept, a filmic hybrid, part anthology, part journal. Even as she’s recording the words and experiences of others, Johnson is recording her own life, too." - 09/15/2016 Boston Globe
"In ways both subtle and overt, the movie continually draws our attention to the human consciousness guiding every shot, the hand that is gently yet unmistakably manipulating the image." - 09/22/2016 Los Angeles Times
4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t’s a detailed self-portrait of an extraordinary woman." - 01/29/2017 The Guardian
