In the end, Marconi's point of view makes for an ultimately frustrating, if still fascinating, 87 minutes of cinema.

Top CriticA serviceable docu-tease.
01/04/08
Top Critic[An] elegant documentary.
12/14/07
Top CriticUnfortunately, 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
Top CriticLagerfeld Confidential, while an undisciplined piece of filmmaking, offers a rare glimpse into the soul of the fashion world, with Lagerfeld, as he admits, surviving through his philosophical fixation on The New: life as the proverbial next season.

Top CriticComes off as something that might have been made by Lagerfeld's own army of publicists in Paris.
10/26/07
Top CriticI learned a lot about Lagerfeld but nothing I felt an urgent need to know.
10/26/07
Top CriticThose seeking career advice about how to become an emperor of fashion will find little if any useful information in Lagerfeld Confidential.

Top CriticMarconi's indifference to detail extends to any consideration of what, exactly, Lagerfeld does for a living, not to mention the history of his rise in the fashion world.
