McCarroll is as cocky and cantankerous as he is compelling, which leads to a glut of histrionic moments, including spectacular scuffles with his publicists and his staff.

Top CriticMcCarroll comes off as a likable and talented guy, amazingly calm as the Big Moment arrives and the guy making his models' shoes is nowhere to be found.

Top CriticEven if you've never heard of Project Runway, the battle between art and wicked compromise never goes out of style.

Top CriticFor general audiences, it could use a bit of, ahem, tailoring - taking in here and there.

Top CriticThough this is the rare documentary that admirably admits recording "reality" on film actually shapes how people behave under the camera's gaze, I think Eleven Minutes is going to appeal mostly to hard-core fashionistas.
02/20/09
Top CriticFashion fanatics will appreciate the behind-thescenes perspective as McCarroll plans his first show.

Top CriticThe filmmakers cram their slice of the fashion world with no detail overlooked, and in doing so they capture that brisk, intoxicating New York atmosphere of smart, no-nonsense professionalism.

Top CriticReveals the fundamental silliness of fashion.

Top CriticAlthough the movie isn't without merit, it's all Jay, all the time, and that gets a little old.
02/19/09
Top CriticCharming and unexpectedly perceptive.
