What to Know

Critics Consensus

A skeptical exposé on high fashion whose insights might be shallower than the industry it critiques, Couture makes its most persuasive statement through Angelina Jolie's emotionally unvarnished performance.

2/5
Sadly, the film itself feels specious and shallow, insisting with bland and weirdly humourless confidence on the glamorous importance of the fashion world in which it is set. Go to Full Review

Winocour deftly weaves in and out of their stories, and a few other women whose hard work keeps the industry ticking, with slick image and sound edits that wrapped me up in a sublime trance. Go to Full Review

2/5
It makes the fashion world seem deathly dull, as if Winocour dislikes it as much as her protagonist allegedly does. Go to Full Review

Couture is a film about rebirths and second chances that only stands out when the plot delves into the emotional turmoil of the protagonists, leaving aside the basic critique of job insecurity and the objectification of bodies. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3/5
...its lack of focus is evident and inevitably culminates in a very unsatisfying open ending: there's no clear message, theme, or intention in this hodgepodge, and the result is quite weak. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2/5
There are too many protagonists and not enough space for each of them. The result is a cold, uneventful film, lacking any truly impactful moments. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
