Recreations of the master's past are laughably bad: a numbing state of self-congratulatory and overly theatrical theatricality appears to have stricken all participants. So why was I never bored? Oct 20, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Talking-head interviews interspersed with reenactments reminiscent of cheap true-crime shows are the filmic equivalent of a polo shirt and khakis: blandly acceptable but uninspired. Sep 28, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

As an interview subject, Blahnik can be elusive, although his descriptions of his favorite creations throughout the years will no doubt be extracted as brand poetry for future advertising campaigns. Sep 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Eschewing the storied elegance of recent European fashion documentaries, Michael Roberts' film is as joyous and dishy as the now 75-year-old Spaniard who released his first collection in 1971. Feb 25, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Ultimately, Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards is better at capturing the tones of the times visited rather than proving the significance of its subject. Dec 29, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Those who are sceptical shoes can be an art form may not quite be won over, yet to see the septuagenerian Blahnik at his drawing board is to witness inspiration at work. Dec 26, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
