Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect in Paris, Maxine, a filmmaker in her forties who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator; Ada, a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle, a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks. As their paths cross, the film reveals the quiet resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honors the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.

Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Winocour deftly weaves in and out of their stories, and a few other women whose hard work keeps the industry ticking, with slick image and sound edits that wrapped me up in a sublime trance. Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian It makes the fashion world seem deathly dull, as if Winocour dislikes it as much as her protagonist allegedly does. Rated: 2/5 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter [The characters] never acquire enough substance to make the undeniably dramatic images meaningful or to alter the impression that Couture is flimsily structured, earnest and dull. Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Ricardo Rosado Fotogramas Even when we've already left behind the stories starring Anyier Anei and Ella Rumpf—much more interesting than the central one— the footage stalls on new medical resolutions and bad news for Jolie's character...[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest When few can afford to show what they’re actually feeling in “Couture,” it is to Winocour’s great credit in her exquisite fifth feature that it comes across with a casual cool that belies its painstaking construction. Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Gregory Ellwood The Playlist And there is a superb Jolie, teasing a renaissance on the horizon worthy of her talents. That movie is hopefully forthcoming, but it's not here. Not yet. Rated: C+ Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
