“Turning her back on her wealthy, established family, Diane Arbus (Kidman) falls in with Lionel Sweeney (Downey Jr.), an enigmatic mentor who introduces Arbus to the marginalized people who help her become one of the most revered photographers of the twentieth century.” - IMDB
While at times the pace of this film does slow a bit, Fur is a uniquely creative journey in storytelling. Using a single fictional character, we see the real Arbus become inspired to turn her lens on societies often overlooked members.
