All the artistry and absurdity, glamour and the grit of the fashion industry are on display in the documentary Mademoiselle C. Read full review

Slant MagazineDiego SemereneSep 11, 2013
It's to Carine Roitfeld's own credit and director Fabien Constant's funky and frenetic pacing that the doc feels neither like a corporate hagiography nor like mere fashionista masturbation material. Read full review

Village VoiceAraceli CruzSep 17, 2013
Mademoiselle C, however, shows the reclusive style guru as the antithesis to the infamous fashion queen, and Roitfeld comes across as quite goofy and actually relatable. Read full review

Time Out LondonCath ClarkeSep 18, 2013
You’ll be left scratching your head wondering what a naked girl draped in a purple net curtain in a cemetery has got to do with frocks. Not many revelations here. Read full review

EmpireOlly RichardsSep 16, 2013
High in gloss if not necessary insight, this is manna for fashion fans but a marginally slighter piece of work than The September Issue. Read full review

Total FilmEmma MorganSep 15, 2013
Mme C. is Carine Roitfeld, ex-editor of Vogue Paris and former stylist. She’s a maternal presence – her own son calls her a MILF. Which makes for fantastic access, if minimal drama. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanSep 12, 2013
As vanity projects go, this one’s unusually well-made — as any portrait of an iconic stylist ought to be. Read full review

The New York TimesMiriam BaleSep 10, 2013
The filmmaking has some of the wit and irreverence of its subject, but goes on meandering tangents rather than having a cohesive vision or tone. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartSep 30, 2013
As a distinctly not-insider, though, I would have benefited more from a broader portrait of the woman herself, and how she became such a legend. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzSep 19, 2013
There are just so many ways Carine Roitfeld can say she loves fashion in Mademoiselle C, a somewhat interesting documentary that brings us into the inner workings of a magazine, but harps a bit too much on her ideas of fashion and style. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonSep 19, 2013
Unfortunately, the film doesn't show its subject's creative process as much as that of her collaborators. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckSep 12, 2013
Mademoiselle C should please fashion devotees while leaving everyone else scratching their heads. Read full review

Time OutR. Kurt OsenlundSep 10, 2013
This is merely a vanity project that shamelessly plugs Roitfeld’s new stateside brand. Read full review

The DissolveGenevieve KoskiSep 10, 2013
More of a fawning love letter than a nuanced profile of a woman who surely must be more fascinating than she comes off here. Read full review

Washington PostJen ChaneySep 27, 2013
It’s an air-kiss of a movie, one that places a non-contact peck on either side of its subject’s mouth, then breezes off before a serious conversation can begin. Read full review
