His celebrity increased substantially via inclusion in such high-end publications as Spex, Interview, and ID, and via the publication of several acclaimed photographic collections by his early thirties. With the documentary If One Thing Matters: A Film About Wolfgang Tillmans, filmmaker Heiko Kalmbach follows Tillmans over the course of four years. The film provides a candid and revealing biographical portrait of the London-based artist at work, with his visual eye as acute as ever and his creative processes in full blossom. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
