"McQueen" doesn't even have to try to make the case for McQueen's brilliance. It's all there, right on the screen; this dude was artistically bonkers in all the right ways.
[The directors] would have done well to shear away the obscuring frills of polite encomiums and pay more attention to the structural details of both the man and what he made.
McQueen is a haunting biography that goes beyond even that live runway experience to conjure the visionary himself, in as much as he may ever be known - and in a way even his savagely beautiful clothes themselves cannot.
If you have any intention of seeing "McQueen" make sure you see it in a theater for full effect.
A savagely beautiful tribute that the late, irreverent fashion designer Alexander McQueen would surely have appreciated.
"McQueen" makes the case that its subject was an artist whose clay was clothing. It also, despite giving short shrift to psychoanalysis, reminds us that everything you might want to know about the artist can be found in the art.
Audience Reviews for McQueen
Any other year and this eye-opening look at the world of fashion and one of its most fearless and rebellious designers might have stood out among the crowd as well as introducing many viewers (myself included) to a world they know very little about. In the year of the documentary though, McQueen simply stands as the rule rather than the exception. This isnï¿ 1/2(TM)t necessarily a bad place to be given the present company and while I still might not completely ï¿ 1/2getï¿ 1/2Â? the world of fashion, this doc at least sets the uninitiated on the path to a better understanding and appreciation.

Although it is only a pity that it doesn't delve further into McQueen's darkness and what exactly tormented his troubled soul, this is an intimate and always compelling look at the life and work of a brilliant fashion designer who used his inner demons to create stunning art.
