Consistently entertaining but superficial look at the inner workings of Vogue.

Je pense que c'est un documentaire un peu difficile à regarder pour ceux qui n'aime ni la mode ni le monde des revues de mode. Ce qui n'est absolument pas mon cas. Je l'ai trouvé bien ficelé et plus divertissant qu'instructif (Mme Wintour ne va pas dévoiler tous ses secrets non plus) malgré le fait qu'on sente que ce doc sert à réchauffer la réputation de A. Wintour. Vraiment bien donc, mais beaucoup trop court.

Interesting look into the fashion magazine world. Lagged in some places but otherwise interesting

It's all about Anna and her Vogue issue..

Existe una fina linea entre la edición normal de una revista y una como Vogue, pero en general esa presencia fuerte, arrogante e intimidante en una ciudad como New York y un escenario como la moda en septiembre, inevitablemente es un acierto para los lentes de éste documental. Así que en general aprecio el esfuerzo de presentar la ferocidad de una importante industria. Un buen disfrute.

Left me unsatisfied. This movie could have said so much more...The only redeeming point is Grace Coddington; she is the real star.

I really enjoyed this, and as a friend of mine told me before watching it, Grace Coddington is the soul of Vogue Magazine...

Brilliant. Even Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada didn't give much justice to how intimidating Anna Wintour is.

I'm sorry for those who did not like it, but this documentary is good.. It shows how busy, intelligent and serious people are in this business and makes me think that not all peope in this industry are dumb..

Grace Coddington is a queen.

Call me shallow, but I liked very much this documentary because of the exquisite way the director put together the two antithetical attitudes of Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington.

I like how Cutler illustrated the balance between Coddington and Wintour as the main movers in Vogue.

There's a reason people parody the world of fashion and this is it. No other industry could withstand the sort of collusion on display here. Retailer tells media what it wants, media tells designers what to make, companies produce it and advertise in Vogue. One big happy circle jerk and it's fascinating. I'm glad I'll never be a graphic designer at Vogue. Utterly thankless job.

Entertaining enough, but really sheds no particular insight that isn't already out there for consumption regarding Anna Wintour and Vogue. Grace Coddington deserves her own something, though; easily the most fascinating person in the film.

At the start of this documentary, Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief for American Vogue, is credited by one of her co-workers for single-handedly having brought fur back into fashion during the start of the 90s. While I feel that this accolade is similar to gleefully stating that Hitler did a splendid job on increasing the number of deaths during the start of the 40s, the rest of the documentary is interesting and stressful. Wintour, rumored to be the one whom Meryl Streep based her character in "The Devil Wears Prada" on, comes across as a person who knows what she likes - but mostly lets shows what she doesn't like, usually by sneers and semi-passive-aggressive comments. As such, she may come across as highly unsympathetic and sneering, but I say I feel she gets the job done; navigating the biggest fashion magazine in the world must carry quite some burdens and hard decisions. The documentary follows her quest through Vogue's September 2007 issue, which is that year's version of their annual apex. Also, Grace Coddington is focused on. She works as creative director at Vogue, started at the magazine at the same time as Wintour and watching the documentary it's very interesting to see her clash with not only Wintour - who by the flick of a hand dismisses pictures in one of Coddington's "$50,000 shoots" - but a barrage of people in order to try and get her pictorials into the issue on hand. Otherwise, it's a lot of singular little things happening throughout: André Leon Talley plays tennis by fashion rather than sport, designers are flaunted, dissed and hailed by Wintour back and forth and a tiny speck of Wintour's private life is shown, as her daughter says she's definitely not going for a career in fashion but in law. All in all, entertaining, frustrating (often in a funny way) but not in-depth.
