This is a peaceful, slow-paced portrait of Jane Bown. Not what I expected - less about her photographs and more a biography about her life and, in parallel, The Observer newspaper, told through interviews with herself and those who knew her. Once this is accepted as the story of a whole person rather than a photographer (which the trailer would lead you to believe), it is a lovely film.
