Critics reviews

Slickly upbeat as it guides six contrasting clients through the measuring and fitting process, frosh helmer Benjamin's film nonetheless gleans enough pointed personal testimonies along the way to add human weight to its makeover-TV format.

Suited, an HBO documentary about a Brooklyn-based clothier catering to the queer community, redefines the term retail therapy, and will elicit many tears of joy and empathy.

From the noxious sensationalism that undermines the social observations of Elizabeth Wood's hyperactive tale of Caucasian privilege, White Girl... to the desperate drive toward LGBT positivity that tamps down the potentially intriguing complexities and conflicts in Jason Benjamin's Suited, a very good-natured documentary about a Brooklyn custom suit designer catering exclusively to transgender people, these were films that all too often devolved into formula.
