        The real strength of Bozek's film is how much of Cunningham's own voice it gives us.

        Movie Nation

        As the “Nostradamus of fashion” (from Bozek’s written narration performed by “Sex and the City” star Parker), he had a higher calling. “He helped people ‘see’ in a new way.” Indeed he did. And The Times of Bill Cunningham helps us see him in a new way.

        Los Angeles Times

        Cunningham’s beguiling openness, coupled with as many estate-sanctioned photographs from his collection as Bozek can squeeze into the brisk running time, easily overcome a general roughness of assembly.

        The film undermines Cunningham’s egalitarianism by linking him directly with the kind of elite snobbery and wealth fixation he abhorred.
