They reject the youth-culture diktat that age makes you invisible, and offer us all an example of self-acceptance.

"Advanced Style" is appropriately fun, frivolous and baroquely ornamented by its subjects who sing, perform, model and occasionally sound like teenagers, while dressing a lot better.

Rated: 3/4

Fashion is the movie's McGuffin, the thing that brings all these people together and bonds them, but it's the women's spirit and their attitude to aging that informs every minute of this documentary.

Rated: 3.5/5

Personally, I would be hard-pressed to find anything better than Bill Cunningham New York (which if you haven't seen, you must do so immediately), however Advanced Style does a fantastic job with its subjects and story.

I loved these ladies and the gentlemen, Ari, who worked with each of these artistic women in a kind and gentle way. It is a story of being who you are and enjoying life. Great job to each of you! Loved the blog and the documentary!
