Mendelsohn and Binoche keep this period drama watchable, but playing fast and loose with its historical premise means the series comes apart at the seams. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 02/21/2024
Like the fashions featured in the series, The New Look is meant to inspire viewers to think beyond the art and learn more about these people after the final credits roll. In that respect, it’s a success. Go to Full Review Phillip Maciak The New Republic 02/20/2024
It would be easy to play Chanel as either a monster or a victim of circumstance. But Binoche is cagey and versatile enough to let her almost always be both. Go to Full Review Ed Power Irish Times 04/08/2025
You can feel the quality in the production values, and the performances are earnest – but neither is enough to compensate for the dreary pacing. Dull and self-important, The New Look is all dressed up with nowhere to go. Go to Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) 08/07/2024
Poetic license is taken, but confirmed biographical details are, nevertheless, significant. Go to Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US 07/27/2024
B+
The New Look shows that it knows how to flesh out both characters and stories, giving a great deal of depth to household names whose fans surely don’t know the entirety of their identities and legacies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lee W @RT74589735 06/21/2025 This was EXCELLENT. Didn't know anything about it; just happened to stumble on it while browsing. I enjoy documentaries or dramas about historical figures in fashion, the modeling industry, etc, from the past and this did not disappoint. Every actor, every performance, and the storyline was perfect. Engaging, heart-wrenching, I loved every single second. Stand outs for me were the principal cast members: Ben Mendelsohn, Juliette Binoche, and Maisie Williams. See more David D @RT82516117 05/19/2025 As much as some find to be so critical, I think it is absolutely Fabulous:) Excellent performances by Ben and Juliette, not to mention the rest of the cast…. Very deep and dark at times but also very inspiring and touching… Takes you on a journey as if you were there yourself. Watch it, you won’t be dissatisfied See more Michele G @RT97730449 09/19/2024 Catherine Dior was an elegant woman and Maisie Williams is miscast. The other actors are good in their roles. See more Honey B @MysteriousTraveller 07/20/2024 I love Ben Mendelsohn and try to watch anything with him in it. This show would have been better in French. See more Tom F @RT55173143 06/26/2024 I cannot be made to care about fashion, but the show is fairly well done. See more Luz V @RT93245709 06/08/2024 boring serie, want a good fashion serie, watch becoming karl lagerfeld, or balenciaga. See more Read all reviews
