The New Yorker has deemed the film "a long-overdue tribute" to the uniquely American dance company that dared to combine modern and traditional techniques, performance art with social statements, and the ballet with pop and rock music scores.

Shannah Laumeister's unconventional 2011 documentary turns its lens onto her muse-mentor relationship with Bert Stern, following his rise to fame as the first photographer to become a celebrity in his own right. Stern may be best known for The Last Sitting, his 1962 Vogue session with Marilyn Monroe just before her death, and for his fashion portraits of stars like Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor, but his striking images also helped frame Madison Avenue's modern-advertising aesthetic.
