    The opulent setting and dichotomy of personalities also offset a largely surface-level portrait of a man who values professional success over all.

    We would say that Becoming Karl Lagerfeld would be great if you’re a fan of fashion, but we’re not even sure there’s enough conflict to drive the drama for people who are interested in Lagerfeld’s history.

    Despite efforts to make Lagerfeld’s world seem glamorous – with slow-mo shots – he is a lumpen presence next to the dazzling Bascher, and it is Canadian actor Théodore Pellerin who steals the show as the younger man.
