Revered around the world, Goldin’s photographs have a deceptive simplicity, which is part of the reason they continue to inspire others to make art. In All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, Poitras’s profoundly emotional portrait of Goldin’s life, we come to understand how the artist’s vulnerability is the foundation of her rare, almost superhuman respect for her subjects.
