Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue (2024) DOC NYC 2024


The life and times of the Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit issue  as told by the woman behind it, the photographers who shot them and the women who filled the pages. It’s the story of how one person changed the lives of many people for the better and how ultimately the cheesecake photos resulted in things that were so much more than just eye candy.

This is a good look at Campbell and the people who crossed her path. It’s a film that is going to tell you everything you wanted to know about the Campbell and then some. Perhaps a little bit too much. While the film is never bad I began to run out of steam  probably about 30 minutes before the end. I think it was more that I had heard everything I felt I needed to at that point.  That’s not a knock, but more a statement that I had to step away.

Quibble aside, the film is quite good and worth a look.
