Critic Reviews for Fashionista

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1)

[Simon] Rumley is a talented, distinctive voice, and I can't wait to see what he does next, but Fashionista feels less like haute couture and more like prt--porter (okay, I couldn't resist).

.. a flawless dive into the subjectivity of loss, trauma and physical sensation.

As much about a split as a break-up, this is a demanding yet rewarding work that will leave the viewer wondering how many bodies are buried beneath its protagonist's elaborate masque.

[A] twisty, compelling psychological study in thriller guise ...

Some of it is trippy, some of it is hipster-y, and most of it is interesting.

Cinema Crazed
Rumley hammers home the simple idea that fashion does not define you- materialism and capitalism can actually easily erases you and your identity, if you let it.

C.H. Newell
Father Son Holy Gore
Led by a compelling and powerful performance from Fuller, Fashionista is an enthralling and oddly sensual thriller.

If a director knows how to push all the right buttons in a way that makes their stories resonate with my own sensibilities, then I'm all for movies that challenge and provoke a response, even if things get a little uncomfortable along the way.

Fashionista demands a lot of the viewer but has a lot to offer in return.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
Bringing back Fuller from Red White & Blue, Rumley builds a whole film around her and she's a remarkable presence, running the gamut from vulnerable to terrifying but never losing audience sympathy.

Screen International
a disorienting and disturbing exploration of jealousy, obsession, body dysmorphia and 'the other woman'.
