HIGH & LOW - JOHN GALLIANO is the gripping and thought-provoking new documentary from Academy Award® winner Kevin Macdonald, charting the rise-and-fall story of fashion designer John Galliano. Galliano was widely recognized as one of the most successful names in 1990s and 2000s couture, until his career abruptly ended when he was caught on camera in 2011 hurling antisemitic and racist insults at bystanders in Paris. Macdonald's compelling documentary traces Galliano's working and private life through the decades, candidly investigating his struggles with addiction and the industry pressure he faced along the way. Featuring conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful and more.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

In other words, it’s a moral tale -- or, in this case, an amoral one, since Galliano emerges from Macdonald’s film as being naively tone-deaf to society’s sensitivities. Yet, it’s also clear he inspires great affection in those who have worked with him.

Rated: 4/5

The Spectator

I went into the cinema wanting to hear what Galliano had to say about it all... But the film never properly gets to the bottom of it.

Australian Financial Review

For Galliano, whose psyche resembles a ball of wool that’s been with the kittens for a few days, his fall from grace seems to have arrived in stages.

The Canadian Crew

You can come for the clothes, the scandal or the so-called redemption arc and feel satisfied by the end. A slam dunk.

Herald Sun (Australia)

This genuinely gripping, warts’n’all portrait of the once-legendary fashion designer John Galliano is one of the best documentaries of the year so far.

The worst thing a movie can do…is to leave you feeling indifferent…nothing for Galliano…for his fashion…or anyone involved… The one thing you can feel is that this director had no knowledge (or interest) of or in Fashion.

Kendel

An incredibly modern and luxurious setting. The Q&A with the Director afterwards made for an exceptional experience. The documentary speaks to the truth of a lived experience and leaves the viewer with the space to contemplate the friction between two truths.
