Critic Reviews for Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston
All Critics (26) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (17)
The film is poorly structured, and most of Sudler-Smith's conclusions are trite.
In sartorial terms, the fabric is to die for, but helmer Whitney Sudler-Smith's docu follows a banal pattern, while the finishing lacks finesse.
A self-indulgent pilgrimage to the shrine of '70s fabulousness, "Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston" assembles a fine assortment of archival material but falls far short of its stated goal.
It's unfortunate that director Whitney Sudler-Smith seems to have spent more time on his own hair than his interview prep.
Lost in all this is Halston, who comes through only in dribs and drabs. If you're curious about him, skip this film.
This isn't simply the biography of an American icon, but the chronicle of a misguided filmmaker.
