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.

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. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian Sep 11
2/5
It makes the fashion world seem deathly dull, as if Winocour dislikes it as much as her protagonist allegedly does. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9
[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. Go to Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report Oct 28
3/5
While the film doesn’t fully land its sprawling ensemble or emotional arcs, it succeeds as a textured portrait of the people hidden beneath the glamour. Go to Full Review Chris Feil The Daily Beast Oct 28
Considering Jolie is so emotionally exposed throughout, it is odd that the film doesn’t ask nearly as much of its other actresses, nor does it have as much curiosity for the inner life of the women they inhabit. Go to Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Oct 9
Couture is a perfectly pleasant if ultimately unmemorable jaunt into the world of fashion. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
