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

Wall Street Journal Dorothy Rabinowitz
A substantial account of the photographer's early life and family. |

Variety Phil Gallo
Unlike so many subjects in PBS "American Masters" series, this one is actually alive. |

Hollywood Reporter Irv 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. |

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
This is a friendly document... but "American Masters" is a series made in tribute. It is friendly by nature. |

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
The program is a lot like Leibovitz's glossier celebrity photography: engaging but not especially deep. |

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum
Leibovitz is such a fascinating artist and her best work is so memorable that you can forgive the occasional rough spot. |

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante

Boston Globe Mark Feeney
To be sure, it's an infomercial for a quality product, but it's still an infomercial. |
