What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ewan McGregor brings megawatt charisma to match Halston's vibrant recreation of a fashion era, but the series' glib treatment of the legendary designer's interior life yields a lot of style with little substance.

The series is ultimately too shallow and ephemeral to offer any real insights into Halston the man or what drove him to become one of the most well-known names in fashion. Go to Full Review
Naomi Fry The New Yorker 06/01/2021
Murphy keeps such a tight rein on Halston's world that the designer is unable to breathe as a subject. Go to Full Review
Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 05/20/2021
3/4
The ever-prolific producer Ryan Murphy tones down his hyperactive style just enough in this satisfying five-part miniseries on the famed '70s/'80s fashion designer. Go to Full Review

prawnda s Oct 5 f**k you ryan murphy See more Matheus F @matheusf_neto Sep 5 Ewan McGregor is magnificent. One of his best performances ever! See more Ranger T 11/01/2023 I caught the last half of it and thought it was well-done, well-acted, poignant, and showed the dirge-like '80's as the grim decade it was. See more Michael Antony A 10/24/2023 Mikey's TV Review: Halston (2021) Writer / Producer Ryan Murphy's 5 part limited series, tells the story of the rise and fall of 70's fashion guru / icon Roy Halston Frowick, better known simply as Halston. Ewan McGregor stars as the titlular character, delivering an incredible, multi-layered, career best performance in a part that could so easily have been a camp caricature. The rest of the cast including Rebecca Dayan as Elsa Peretti, Sullivan Jones as Ed Austin, David Pittu as Joe Eula, and Gian Franco Rodriguez as Victor Hugo are all equally brilliant, but it's Krysta Rodriguez heartwarming turn as Liza Minnelli that will turn casting directors heads. All in all a worthy attempt to rectify the legacy of a true artistic talent that history forgot. Mikey's TV Rating: 5/5* See more Gareth v @geewah 06/23/2023 While the telling of this story is a rather shallow, paint by numbers piece, it is McGregor's performance that helps make this compelling enough to watch. In what is a rather familiar theme for Ryan Murphy, too much emphasis is placed on style over substance. See more Bah B 01/31/2023 Very heartbreaking story. Very powerful performance from Ewan McGregor. See more Read all reviews
