Synopsis

Real estate agent John Maloof explains how a trip to a local auction house, in search for old pictures to use for a history book about his neighborhood, resulted in him bidding and winning a box full of old negatives. John goes through the massive quantity of negatives, describes how impressed he is by the quality of the images, becomes quickly determined they are not reverent to his project and just puts them away.

That could have very likely had been the end of the story, if the power of the images had not pushed him to fall in love with photography. John confides that his photo hobby quickly motivated him to set up a darkroom and devote large amounts of time printing. As he learned more about photography, he recognized that those negatives he had bought, then stored, were the work of a real master.

In an attempt to confirm his suspicion, he selected about 100 images and put them online with the hope that the feedback would confirm his judgement as to the strength of the images.

The soundtrack of Finding Vivian Maier beautifully captures the nostalgic and mysterious essence of the story. The music enhances the sense of discovery and intrigue as John Maloof uncovers the hidden talent of Vivian Maier through her photographs.

John Allen
3/10

The repetitive and monotonous melodies did not effectively convey the complexity and mystery surrounding Vivian Maier's life and work. I felt that the soundtrack missed an opportunity to evoke the sense of discovery and admiration that John Maloof experienced when he first encountered Maier's photographs.

Sarah Smith
6/10

On the other hand, some may find the soundtrack to be a bit repetitive and lacking in diversity. While it effectively sets the mood for the film, the constant use of similar melodies and tones throughout the documentary may become monotonous for some viewers. More variation in the musical themes could have added a richer layer of complexity to the overall listening experience.

I found the soundtrack of Finding Vivian Maier to be lacking in emotional depth and connection to the powerful story being told. The music felt generic and uninspired, failing to enhance the poignant moments captured in Maier's photographs.
