David Stratton The Australian Meticulously researched and filled with colourful characters, Frederic Tcheng's absorbing documentary Halston will be essential viewing for anyone interested in the world of fashion. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Cathy Brennan Time Out Hard-partying designer Halston goes under the microscope in this hit-and-miss doc. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Tcheng treats the film like a film noir... It's a homage to the narrators in Citizen Kane and Sunset Blvd but it's unnecessary. The historical footage is good enough to sustain the story. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Part biography of a creative genius, part cautionary tale for artists who throw their hats in the ring with big corporations and lose everything, including the right to use their own name. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) An engrossing fashion doco for those yet to have had their fill of colourful tales of high-end clothes, high-life celebrities and high-flying designers who ascended too close to the sun. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Susannah Gruder Hyperallergic Halston attempts to resurrect the designer's legacy by giving him a glamorous, multilayered portrait.
