McQueen's great legacy is the beauty and skill that lay beneath the compulsion to outrage.

What keeps McQueen from being a brilliant doco is its willingness to skim over the darkest parts of the designer's life.

McQueen is a stunning ode to everything Alexander managed to do while he was still alive. Be prepared to cry.

Brilliant from start to finish, I've seen this serval times. It not only shows McQueens work but explains it in such a beautiful way. My issue was a few of the people being interviewed didn't add much to the film.

An interesting introduction to an influential designer that I had not known much about. It made me understand the fashion world a little better.

A touching glimpse into the life of Alexander McQueen. For those who don't know much about the late fashion designer, this will provide you with an eye-opener into the highs and lows of his world and of the fashion industry. Intimate, tragic and mesmerising.

A well made documentary following the rise and eventual tragic end of fashion designer Alexander McQueen. Made up of archive material and interviews with his friends, co-workers and family the film is at its visual best when we see footage of some of the extraordinary shows that made McQueen's name. He is shown for what he was, a huge talent, driven and passionate about what he did almost to the exclusion of everything else. It was this obsession and perhaps the unforgiving world in which he lived that ultimately lead to his suicide as this was a young man who was clearly in trouble and devoured by an insatiable world constantly hungry for the next big thing. Fascinating and awful.
