My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Bill Cunningham, New York

This is a great documentary that introduces newbies (like me)  to a New York Times institution, a fashion photographer more interested in fashion than the people wearing the clothes.  Bill is a true artist and a jolly guy who lives a simple life but one that has had a profound effect chronicling what New Yorkers wear on the street or on the runway.  I love stories like these, about normal people who dedicate their lives to something they love and remain cheerful about it.  What a role model.  Grade: A-.
