Rolling StonePeter TraversMay 2, 2013
You don't have to be in vogue to enjoy this stylish ride through Bergdorf's. It's a surprise package to die for. Miele and his virtuoso cinematographer, Justin Bare, show how fashion can be aspiration, a model for dreaming the impossible. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternMay 2, 2013
The energy in Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's — what a great title! — is genuine, infectious and superabundant. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranMay 2, 2013
A lively, clever, fast-moving film that isn't overly reverential about its subject. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMay 30, 2013
As a film, it’s like science fiction, a visit to Planet Obscenely Wealthy. It is weirdly compelling. Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibMay 6, 2013
This scattershot documentary — an undiluted advertisement for this temple of high-end consumerism — jumps skittishly from subject to subject, disjointed and repetitive for all but dyed-in-the-wool fashionistas. Read full review

Time OutKeith PhippsApr 30, 2013
What interest Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s does generate comes from the sections devoted to a pair of staff fixtures: Linda Fargo and David Hoey. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchDebra D. BassJun 6, 2013
The overall feel is less of a cohesive documentary and more of a slapdash scrapbook of facts, historical information and name-dropping. Read full review

Austin ChronicleLeah ChurnerMay 23, 2013
Everybody’s tantalized by the store’s exclusivity because next to nobody makes the cut. Thus the title’s morbid connotation rears its ugly head: Having somebody sprinkle your mortal remains on the marble floor is the only way you’d ever fit in. Read full review

Matthew Miele has made a department store of a documentary, stocked to the hilt with an obscene inventory of storylines, talking heads, and utterly tasteless choices. Read full review
