The Hollywood Reporter
The real strength of Bozek's film is how much of Cunningham's own voice it gives us. - 80
Variety
The Times of Bill Cunningham is only 74 minutes long, yet it’s a snapshot of a life that leaves you grateful for having encountered it. - 80
Time
All lives are made of shadow and light, and The Times of Bill Cunningham acknowledges that. But through it all, spending time in Cunningham’s presence is bliss. - 75
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. - 75

Film Threat
If you want to discover (or get to know more about) a unique man who is as wildly talented as much as he tries to say otherwise, please watch The Times Of Bill Cunningham. - 70
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. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film undermines Cunningham’s egalitarianism by linking him directly with the kind of elite snobbery and wealth fixation he abhorred.
