Q&A with director Ron Howard
2026. 104 m. Ron Howard. Netflix. US. English. Rated R.
Tickets: $20 (members), $25 (nonmembers)
"[Avedon] embraces the complexities of a man who turned artifice into a kind of superpower, whether he was dreaming up scenarios for fashion spreads or confronting an America as far removed from haute couture Manhattan as you could get."
"Howard and editor Andrew Morreale... strike an elegant balance between providing context for [Avedon's] innovations and letting the work do the talking, resulting in one of the more entertaining art documentaries that this critic has ever seen."
