TV GuideMatt Roush
It works as a piercing, intimate bio... and as a cultural snapshot of America and celebrity during the most turbulent, rebellious decades.

A substantial account of the photographer's early life and family.

Unlike so many subjects in PBS "American Masters" series, this one is actually alive.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterIrv Letofsky
In this fine "American Masters" study... we don't get very heavy into her personal back stories, though we follow her almost magical journey from news photographer in the rock 'n' roll world to photographic artist.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
This is a friendly document... but "American Masters" is a series made in tribute. It is friendly by nature.
Read Full Review >Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker
The program is a lot like Leibovitz's glossier celebrity photography: engaging but not especially deep.
Read Full Review >San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesCharlie McCollum
Leibovitz is such a fascinating artist and her best work is so memorable that you can forgive the occasional rough spot.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
This documentary is in the business of reverence.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMark Feeney
To be sure, it's an infomercial for a quality product, but it's still an infomercial.
