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.

There is no tidy ending, or even a sense that everything will be alright. But Winocour finds calm hidden beneath the unrest, a moment to pause and breathe, just to feel alive as life forges on without our consent. Go to Full Review
Angelica Jade Bastién New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 6
It’s even rarer to watch films that depict women along cross-cultural and cross-generational lines that urge us to take the prosaic nature of life seriously. Go to Full Review
Richard Brody The New Yorker Jul 1
By keeping the movie brisk, Winocour also turns it superficial, its substance removed from the realm of experience and trivialized into plot points. Go to Full Review

But as interesting as [its] connections are on the surface, [Alice] Winocour has trouble weaving the threads of her story together. Go to Full Review

The film is ambitious, wearing its feminism on its sleeve, but unfocused, with some of the characters developing genuinely involving situations and others merely treading water. Go to Full Review
Ruben Peralta Rigaud Cocalecas Jul 14
Ultimately, Couture demonstrates that true beauty has never been the absence of scars, but rather the ability to move forward despite them. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Mr Hollywood Jul 7 I enjoyed it while watching it. Afterwards it felt pointless. It’s decent but could’ve been so much more See more Marisa Jun 28 I liked the artsy feel throughout the movie. I thought the acting was good. Angelina Jolie is stunningly beautiful. The storyline was light on substance, apart from the obvious. I get & liked the message. But it was one of the most depressing movies I have seen. Like I always say in my reviews- check it out for yourself! I look forward to reading what you guys think! PS When you write a book, I never read it. Keep it concise, and NO SPOILERS. See more anne c Jun 28 A quiet film that could have used a bit more character development. Decent acting, some very cool visuals. See more Kat Jun 27 Pure, Raw Cinema: Why You Need to See 'Couture' in Theaters! If you are tired of sterile Hollywood blockbusters built on green screens and CGI, Alice Winocour’s Couture is the exact antidote you’ve been waiting for. This is cinema in its purest, most human form—a masterclass in raw emotion, gripping drama, and the beautiful complexity of real life. I am completely in awe of this film, and honestly, the negative reviews miss the point entirely. Winocour strips away the superficial glamour of Paris Fashion Week to look at the "stitches" holding real women together. The storytelling doesn't rely on cheap special effects it relies on the human face, unspoken tension, and deeply moving life situations that echo long after the credits roll. My partner and I couldn’t stop debating and unpacking the film’s subtle, untold backstories for hours after leaving the theater. Angelina Jolie is simply fantastic. She delivers a quiet, heartbreaking, and deeply vulnerable performance as Maxine that anchors the entire piece, matched beautifully by a phenomenal supporting cast. If you want to support authentic, European arthouse filmmaking that actually makes you feel something, buy a ticket. It is a striking reminder of why we go to the movies. See more Clarissa H Jun 26 Sorry, I really, really wanted to like this. There were three different storylines and no real character development - not enough to truly care and no chemistry with the love interest. The only emotional scene I believed from Jolie was near the end when she was speaking to her daughter (because I am sure it resonated with her own loss of her mom- I believed her there.) But seemed hyper aware of the camera. Trying to be deep sometimes just doesn’t work. See more Ahzea G @ahzea Jul 15 This is the WORST movie in the history of the world!! See more Read all reviews
