Editorial Reviews

Nicole Kidman assumes the identity of visionary photographer Diane Arbus in a film that draws inspiration from author Patricia Bosworth's best-selling biography to tell the tale of a once-shy woman who becomes one of her generation's most strikingly original visual artists. Diane Arbus was a typical wife and mother whose morbid interests stood in stark contrast with her decidedly conventional existence in 1950s-era New York. Upon making the acquaintance of her eccentric, newly arrived neighbor, Lionel (Robert Downey Jr.), the once-content housewife soon embarks on a creative journey that will forever change the way both she and her legions of fans view the world around them. By blending factual aspects of Arbus' life with a fictional narrative, Fur weighs the domestic expectations of the 20th century housewife against the irrepressible drive for an artist to create and explore the world around her in her own unique way. Scripted by Erin Cressida Wilson and directed by Steven Shainberg (Secretary), Fur weaves a fictional romance with intimate details from the iconic photographer's life to offer a fascinating look at Arbus' artistic development.

Fur or Fake?by Windley

March 07, 2009: Enjoyable film but why would a work of fiction use the name of a real person? I knew Diane Arbus in the 1950's and this film does not in any way relate to her real life. If a fictious name had been used instead, the story could have stood on its own. To use the Arbus name, to me, serves no purpose.

Great movie!by Anonymous

June 16, 2007: I saw this movie on the shelf at blockbuster and thought I would test it out. I had never heard of it before and it looked interesting. I also like Nicole and Robert so I figured it would be good. I really liked the movie. You have to be prepared for the odd but if you can get past that and have an open mind while watching the movie then you will enjoy it. I loved the random comedic one liners that were tossed in during the dialog. It realy is a great movie and I think everyone should watch it- although I wouldn't let any children watch it.. Only adults when there are no kids around at all. There are a few scenes that would be disturbing for kids of any age. Overall- Great, Watch it with an open mind and you will love it and see the beauty of it.
