To those oblivious to fashion, however, they may recognize her more by Meryl Streep's interpretation in "The Devil Wears Prada...( read more)

September 25, 2009Not many documentaries manage to be this highly entertaining. I absolutely adored every minute of it, and by the end I was left with wanting more.
Definitely offers a thorough insight into the behind-the-scenes making-of Vogue Magazine's most important issue: the September one....( read more) -
October 14, 2009Ah, it's great to see the claws of Anna Wintour. She can't reign in the drama and haughtiness, even when she's not expressly directing it at anyone. A cold smirk, a blank stare, a slight eyeroll... these are the things that apparently make fashionistas both swoon over her and fea...( read more)

October 12, 2009A bit lifeless. For a good doc on fashion with lots of character see "Valentino: The Last Emperor." My favorite doc of 2009. So far.

While it's fun for fashionholics just to watch a movie in which people say "It's a famine of beauty!" and "The jacket is the new coat," the film becomes more substantial as it narrows its focus to two... full review

[Cutler] worms his way into subcultures without judgment or probing, preferring to let group dynamics speak for themselves. full review

RJ Cutler had plenty of access, but it's pretty clear that from start to finish it was Anna Wintour who was in control of this movie. full review

Wintour steers a tight ship. Coddington reminds her that Vogue has a history based on something more than profit. In the end, they're a winning combination. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This seems to be a woman who is concerned with one thing above all: The implementation of her opinion. She is not the monster depicted by Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, but then how could she be? full review

Can Wintour -- who's reportedly paid $2-million a year and also given an annual personal clothing budget of $200,000 -- keep her job? In the fashion biz, this is what passes for hard times. full review

If a syllable could kill (and it can, can't it?), the movie would be the Texas Chainsaw Massacre of the stiletto-heeled and dagger-toothed. full review
