Simon Abrams

Strickland frequently tests viewers' patience, but his off-putting sensibility is powerful enough to make In Fabric as mesmerizing as its subject: salesmanship as a sinister, inescapable form of hypnosis.

Rated: 3.5/4

The Age (Australia)

This is not the film to see if you're after a sleazy good time. It's more like a game of hunt the symbol, with possible interpretations scattered so thickly it is hard to pick just one.

Rated: 2.5/5

Harper's Bazaar

Through its exploration of commodification, the feature humorously satirises our obsession with endless acquisition, no matter what the cost.

Rated: 3/5

I want to give this movie half a star… usually I expect A24 movies to be great(Civil War aside), but this was just garbage, I’m almost mad at myself for not stopping it a half hour in, the half star was the ending was sort of cool, otherwise it was just filthy to be filthy, no plot, no payoff, don’t bother.

Evil, killer dresses are not scary, just silly. It's listed as "horrorcomedy." Was it supposed to be funny? If so, I didn't get it. Maybe it's a British thing.

I get the divided reviews but I loved it. You definitely haven't seen anything like this one. It's funny but not in the way you think.
