Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf's Reviews

[Prefers] to polish the marble of the block-long Bergdorf Goodman store rather than look past it. Still, for die-hards, peeking into back halls and hearing the dish will satisfy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It's like a vanity project for - well, who, exactly? I could barely sit through the whole film; I can't imagine wandering the aisles of this puffed-up emporium.

Full Review

Jumps skittishly from subject to subject, disjointed and repetitive for all but dyed-in-the-wool fashionistas.

Full Review

Shallow, tedious and, worst of all, boring.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/10

An obnoxious documentary asking us to bow down in homage to a temple of the very rich where conspicuous consumerism is worshipped.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5

There's so much material that's amusing, and so much goodwill for Bergdorf in the hearts of fashion lovers, that it's a shame this is such an ADD sprawl of a movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

[A] glossy, fawning valentine to conspicuous consumption ...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

...even in my anticipation I could not have realized how entertaining this is, clearly one of the most entertaining films of the year.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10

Though partly funded by one of the descendants of the store's founder, director Matthew Miele has made a lively, clever, fast-moving film that isn't overly reverential about its subject.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

The energy in "Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's"-what a great title!-is genuine, infectious and superabundant.

Full Review

Granted, not every documentary is necessarily required to dig up dirt and say awful things, but the overbearing gush gets tiresome.

Full Review

Fashionistas will kvell over this paean to the Mecca of Materialism.

Full Review

You don't have to be in vogue to enjoy this stylish ride through Bergdorf's. It's a surprise package to die for.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

This glossy doc is indisputably attractive, with lots of famous faces, amusing stories and stunning clothes to admire.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A modestly amusing celebration of a store, and consumption at its most conspicuous.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Much of the focus falls on glowing testimonials from famous customers like the Olsen twins and designers like Dolce and Gabbana, all of whom speak of the retail mecca as the place to be.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This doc, title taken from a remark by a wealthy European shopper and immortalized in a New Yorker cartoon, is fun and frothy, a fan's mash note.

Full Review

Matthew Miele has made a department store of a documentary, stocked to the hilt with an obscene inventory of storylines, talking heads, and utterly tasteless choices.
