Please don't spend money on this.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The documentary itself was great in many ways- the story-telling, film, interviews and insights about the nature of the relationships between each person involved with the production of the magazine issue. I was most struck by Anna W...walking from place to place, person to person with a constant 'puss' on her face. Always ready to dish out demeaning and cutting remarks. The first shot of the film was a surprise to me, I was not aware of Anna before this film, and when I heard this woman speak her ideas, I immediately thought this person is totally clueless about her class and about the distorted view of the world she had. As the film went on, it became noticeable that the majority of the people she interacts with are white people, rich white people. I also observed the sheer amount of power she has.This is not feminism folks, this is a woman who assumed the role of her past male predecessor, and combined them with her own seeming delusions of being royalty- the Folie of this delusion is that *everyone* helps make it happen by kissing her ass:they defer, they submit. This woman is exactly what is wrong with how people use their power. Her use of power appears to be based in supporting exclusivity, inequality and exploitation. To see her complete clueless-ness about people who live outside of her vacuum of sycophantic/terrified underlings. I felt turned off completely by this documentary- the entitlement, the implied nepotism (wants daughter in the industry), the seriousness given to the issue of fashion and the denial of the 'real' world outside of the fashion bubble. This doc to me, exposed a superficial world that is characterized by some of the ugliest uses of power, amazing disrespect and dis-ingenuity.

I think this documentary did a superb job with showing us what it's like to get a fashion magazine together. I loved watching how they choose the clothes, who really makes the decisions for the final cut of the magazine each month. I think that it's very much like a real version of the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada." I would also like to point out that they do touch on something pretty deep for Anna Wintour. Which I thought was good to bring into the film. I think it had direction and it will make you either love or hate fashion. Im my opinion, anyone who enjoys fashion and the reality of what it brings, will adore this film!

In this documentary we follow Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her colleagues through their sleek Manhattan offices, beautifully appointed homes, European catwalks and design houses and photo shoots as they meticulously assemble the contents of the titular September issue that is supposed to be the most important of the year. After about a half an hour of chic fashionistas going through their paces (examining fabrics and photos, judging color schemes, sipping various liquids, gliding around big cities in chauffeured limos) it starts to get dull and repetitious and we can better appreciate the genius of the 2006 comedy The Devil Wears Prada which took the same basic set of people, heightened their personalities, spiced up their interrelationships, infused drama and plot into their routine professional activities and served up a sumptuously entertaining satire on the world of haute couture while also educating the general public about the nuts, bolts and economic and cultural role of that enterprise. There is far too much ennui and unoriginal glimpses behind the scenes which have been well covered in other documentaries and on countless televised celebrity magazine programs. Every once in a while there is a worthwhile insight, such as Wintour's description of the social atmosphere of London in the 1960s, a time of deep change, which formed her. She is certainly cool and reserved, but not the Ice Queen that Meryl Streep played in the fictionalized version. If anything, the point of this documentary would seem to be the humanization of Miss Wintour. By the time the fabled September issue starts rolling off the presses, all we can do is shrug.

I've been collecting the hefty September issue of Vogue since I was 16 years old. It's great having this reference to look back at as fashion is cyclical. For me because I love Vogue it was a treat to catch some behind the scenes workings of the September issue. The main motivation behind Wintour's participating in this documentary is probably primarily commercial, as she want's Vogue's circulation to increase. Don't view this with an expectation to gain insight into her character. I found the documentary too short but it's because I loved the subject, for casual viewers unfamiliar with the Septemeber issues it's a good length. So why do I love Vogue's September issue? The trends brought up in September will echo throughout the fashion year and for years after. This magazine marries culture albeit a more high-browed, selective, snobbish, commercial culture with genuine talent and artistry. Plus there are actual articles to read in small font throughout the magazine. It's not just a fluffy magazine full of photo's. Through the documentary the viewer can see that the people running Vogue are ageing. These people also refreshingly wear very little make-up and let their wrinkles show. A lot of the documentary features Grace, who has wild untamed hair, at the beginning I wished she had used product or a straightening iron but Grace is the crone archetype, while young she was beautiful and now at old age is again comfortable in her own skin. The September issues of Vogue under Wintour's leadership are memento's of the current golden age of fashion and design. It's interesting that Wintour is of English origin as her sensibility is so French and conservative. In fact London is one of the cities where fashion begins from the individual and fashion there is chaotic and unique and frankly follows no rules. The world we are familiar with where fashion trends echo throughout every country is ending. The timing of this documentary before the US economic meltdown was lucky, there is no doom and gloom in this documentary. A must see for those interested in fashion.
