Couturier and "Project Runway" winner Jay McCarroll prepares his spring 2007 collection and runway show.

Critics Consensus

Eleven Minutes makes for a decent fashion world primer, but is likely to appeal mostly to Project Runway diehards.

Read Critics Reviews

Alexis Loinaz

Chicago Tribune

McCarroll is as cocky and cantankerous as he is compelling, which leads to a glut of histrionic moments, including spectacular scuffles with his publicists and his staff.

Rated: 3/5

Steven Rea

Philadelphia Inquirer

McCarroll comes off as a likable and talented guy, amazingly calm as the Big Moment arrives and the guy making his models' shoes is nowhere to be found.

Rated: 3/4

Rolling Stone

Even if you've never heard of Project Runway, the battle between art and wicked compromise never goes out of style.

Jay McCarroll is surprisingly endearing in a familiar fashion doc.

A well-edited and moderately fascinating documentary lacking in truly illuminating and profound insights.

Finished the movie as confused about it's purpose as when I started it. If it weren't for Jay McCarroll's honest, sharp and interesting personality (and the desire to see his creations), I'm not sure this documentary would have had anything substantial to say.

Stylishly done, but without a real point of view or reason to exist. Makes you appreciate what the editors of "Project Runway" do cutting the same kind of material (pun intended) into a tight, fairly dramatic 50 minutes on a weekly basis. If you were a Jayfan, help yourself - if not, don't bother.

I'm a huge fan of Project Runway, but not much of a fan of its very first winner, Jay McCarroll. Still I appreciated this doc's goal of showing the ongoing battle between artistic integrity and commercial viability.

A hilarious look into what it takes to put on a fashion show during Fashion week in New York featuring Jay McCarroll and a fabulous cast of the fashion industry's usual suspects. Good fun.
