I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

For many Alexander McQueen fans, including myself, McQueen's work was more than stunning fashion: it was a powerful statement about rising above abuse, the burdens of beauty, defying gender norms, death, humanity, and empowerment. The filmmakers did a spectacular job of capturing these themes in McQueen's work through interviews and photo/video montages. Every moment of the film is thought provoking. The visuals are haunting. We must treasure this rare look into the private world of fashion's most elusive, misunderstood genius. The film succeeds most of all by presenting a heartrending timeline of McQueen not only as an infamous designer, but as a person ravaged by the industry. Alexander's life was triumphant and tragic in equal measures; he quite literally lost himself to his genius, pouring so much emotion into the McQueen brand that it became an extension of himself. Ultimately, as the film tells us, fusing his identity with the brand resulted in brilliant, theatrical shows...and the loss of his sanity.I wish that certain runway shows [namely, the Horn of Plenty] were examined a bit more, but McQueen was such a powerhouse that the film would have spanned 3+ hours if they had discussed all his work in depth. I also wish that we could have heard from Sarah Burton, who now directs the house of McQueen. Despite its small missed opportunities, this film will stick with you long after you've left the theatre.

So sad and so beautiful. Just like he was. A wonderful insight into the beauty and brutality that made his work what it was. A very emotional piece. And considering how the man himself said he wanted people to walk away from his shows with emotion, even though this wasn't a work of his (even though it was about him), I'd consider this a resounding success for just that reason. You walk away from the theater very emotional. Go see it. Yesterday.

Since Alexander McQueen's death there has been more exhibitions, books and information about him. He is one of my favourite designers and there was so much publicity for a man who during his lifetime I didn't really take notice.I became a fan of McQueen's work on May 2016 when I started researching about him, and then around this time there was an exhibition on Isabella Blow at the Powerhouse Museum, and I got the chance to see her clothes.This is a well-made documentary and there was an idea of making a movie about McQueen, but this was changed due to Jack O'Connell not being attached to the project.In McQueen's earlier part of his career he was disciplined and very ambitious and creative then unfortunately as McQueen's fame rose and people saw him more as a priority his mental health and personal life deteriorated further, due to more pressure to excel.McQueen was interested with the anatomy of the body, and his fashion is sculptural and organic. I believe the use of the McQueen skulls was created because of his interest with teeth, and you can see the lower part of the skull as priority in this design. McQueen liked using the media and his fashion shows were presented in a very theatrical way his models would perform so well for the camera, and during later shows it was amazing how the models walked in those high shoes.McQueen's life was controversial and he will be remembered as an unforgettable fashion designer and couturier.

This film moved me like I had never been moved before. I hadn't the highest of hopes on being informed that the film would be produced by Lionsgate, a production company who are somewhat reputable for some bad films (Wings), however this was simply incredible. I am not in the least interested in fashion design (being your generally typical teenage boy), however this is simply a piece of art that must been seen.
