Vishniac Ratings & Reviews
The Forward
PJ Grisar
Bialis' slick dramatizations of Vishniac's life, while tastefully done, are underwhelming when paired with the immediacy of the photographer's own images.

The horror is offscreen yet inescapable...
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
Bialis has done a masterful job bringing Vishniac's magic and passions to the big screen, which was her sincerest hope.

VISHNIAC represents a small piece of history, but certainly a fascinating one.

Leonard Maltin
'Vishniac' is a perfect marriage of subject and storyteller. Thank goodness Laura Bialis was able to interview Vishniac's daughter Mara, who passed away in 2018, and accumulate all the background materials that make this film so vividly true
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Bialis reveals his and his family's lives behind iconic photographs from her access over three years to the complete Vishniac archive of over 23,000 items. She also well illustrates times and places with other apt archival footage and visual context.

Thanks to this film, books and other museum exhibits in existence, Roman Vishniac's legacy will live on for years to come.

Though it's not a perfect sum of its parts, most of the parts are pretty captivating.
