Critics Consensus

An affectionate portrait created with visual flair, Diana Vreeland is entertaining, informative, and stylish, due in large part to its charismatic subject.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

Fantastic fun. It's full of energy and zing, just like its subject, although, just like its subject, it also feels less than truthful somehow.

Joe Williams

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

We suspect that in her imperious voice, Vreeland would say she was mad about it, and she'd mean it as a measure of praise.

Rated: 3/4

She wanted you to look and look again, and this film is full of images which make you do just that.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Sometimes it’s better to just print the legend, as this doc wisely does.

What She Said

a heady, spicy, and utterly joyous experience, with Vreeland’s most famous bon mots. Her deep red apartment, her “garden in hell” was social and cultural New York for decades.

Rated: 4/4

Diana Vreeland was perhaps the coolest person to ever walk planet Earth. I've watched this documentary 3 times and in addition to DV being a fascinating subject, this is really wonderful film making. "The Eye Has To Travel" is great.

I grew up with Vogue and could never really figure out why it was such a fascinating magazine, even for a child. Watching this film will give you the jist of the matter. See the film and, by all means, also read DV. Vreeland was oxygen.
