May 14, 2021Such an incredible TV show! I absolutely enjoyed it. Sad that's just 5 episodes. Acting, cinema, shots, music. All in very high level!!!

Dec 3, 2021While the telling of this story is a rather shallow, paint by numbers piece, it is McGregor's performance that helps make this compelling enough to watch.
In what is a rather familiar theme for Ryan Murphy, too much emphasis is placed on style over substance.

Halston is at its best when it depicts the inner workings of the fashion world, incorporating the creative process and its dazzling end results. Unfortunately, the familiar overtures of a troubled visionary and his downfall can only sustain our attention for so long.

One can’t help wondering whether a mini series about his relationship with Liza Minnelli (who refused to talk ill of her friend in the 2019 documentary and clearly loved him as much – or more – than any of her husbands) would have been a far more moving and emotional TV drama than this fun but forgettable Halston turns out to be.

Despite telling the kind of tormented-creative-genius story we’ve seen in many a Hollywood biopic, complete with crass moralising about the dangers of an indulgent lifestyle, this latest Ryan Murphy concoction eventually manages to get under the skin.
