If you’re one of those devils who wears Prada, seek it out. If your jeans don’t come with designer labels, you’re advised to look elsewhere.

Reviews for Lagerfeld Confidential
Know not to take tips from a man who has a ponytail and wears fingerless black gloves.
10/26/07
[An] elegant documentary.
12/14/07
Even by the unexacting standards of fashionista portraiture, this is a feeble effort.
10/26/07
Marconi colludes like an awestruck fan, letting the witty eccentric hold court with childhood anecdotes and quotable gems. Not that we’re complaining – after all, who needs reality when the illusion’s sweeter than Chanel?
10/24/07
Lagerfeld embodies the high fashion life – his every move would provide enough material to fill The Devil Wears Prada ten times over, but our view is dulled by Marconi's bland questioning.
10/26/07
A drippy documentary.
10/24/07
Apart from a few too many longueurs of Lagerfeld shooting pretty pictures of pretty models, [the film] is an entertaining bauble.
10/25/07
You learn only as much as Lagerfeld wants you to, which isn't very much at all.
10/26/07
"I'm a complete improvisation," Lagerfeld declares. And it's quite a performance.
10/23/07
Lagerfeld Confidential lives up to its title by keeping its central topic top secret.
10/16/07
Lagerfeld Confidential’s portrait of the artistic director allows its subject to dictate the terms of his portrait. In an era of ever-present spin, it’s a popular -- though less than satisfying -- approach.
10/24/07
Unfortunately, those without extensive previous knowledge of Lagerfeld's legendary career will find little here to enlighten them, a sad waste considering the relative lack of serious cinematic explorations into the fashion world.
12/03/07
Will have fashion mavens squawking for weeks.
10/26/07
I learned a lot about Lagerfeld but nothing I felt an urgent need to know.
10/26/07
Top CriticLagerfeld could be the fashion world's Nosferatu: gimlet eyes hidden behind shades as they appraise each new collection; monstrous in his egotism; and, despite his protestations otherwise, painfully lonely after selling his soul to haute couture.
10/26/07
Lagerfeld keeps the shades down and the collar up in this glossy but inexpressive biography.
10/26/07
Talkative and witty as he is, Chanel bigwig Karl Lagerfeld is a stubbornly private man.
10/26/07
The designer's droll wit makes this a compelling (if bitchy) documentary.
10/24/07
Fascinating portrait of a decadent aristocrat with a flair for the beautiful.
