New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Has amusing moments, but falls apart as quickly as a cheap knockoff. Read full review

VarietyRobert Koehler
Michele Maher's Garmento appears more shocked at the fashion industry's cynical side than moviegoers are likely to be, making its drama of corruption a preordained snooze. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Although Garmento exhibits a flailing comic energy, its eagerness to condemn everything about Seventh Avenue, along with its sub-par acting and a choppy narrative style that finally runs amok, lends it a tone of hysterical finger-pointing. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Without an assured character at its center, the movie quickly collapses in a heap of moldy clichés and contrived (and not especially funny) situations. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Maher's filmmaking is competent -- the sets are inventive, and all the camera angles match up -- but someone should have warned her that neither she nor her young cast is experienced enough to pull off the line “The only people buying it are the faggots.” Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Garmento has nothing going for it. First-time writer-director Michele Maher spent three years working in Manhattan's fashion industry...her attempts at satire are feeble and trite, and her stereotypical characters are without interest. Read full review
