As it stands, The New Look is a series that successfully captures the utter horrors of war alongside the beauty of creation. The severity of one only emphasizes the gravity of the other. Together, they make something breathtaking, heartbreaking, and entirely worth watching. Read full review

The Independent Katie Rosseinsky

Accent quibbles aside, though, this series is a beautifully made, nuanced exploration of two creative geniuses whose lives were far from black and white. And it’s certainly proof that fashion isn’t frivolous: it’s deeply woven into some of history’s most significant moments. Read full review

Both Binoche and Mendelsohn handle their larger-than-life characters with grace, never slipping into caricature mode. Mendelsohn, in particular, gives a tender, calibrated performance, one that’s particularly strong in early scenes involving his attempt to find his sister Catherine (Maisie Williams) during the occupation.

If taken as a whole, the series has a lumbering, scattered quality but there are things to enjoy along the way. Read full review

Much of this 10-episode series is a rather dull and thinly written exploration of life in Nazi-occupied Paris. Read full review

This series promises a lot but – like its accents – misses the mark too frequently. Never sure whose story it wants to tell – Christian’s, Coco’s or Catherine’s – The New Look feels like three wildly different garments sewn together. Read full review

Judy Berman

Feb 13, 2024

The New Look is, in practice, a dull, morose, bafflingly executed trudge through Nazi-occupied France, as navigated by two of the most famous names in the history of fashion. The pace is sluggish and the characters thin. A-list actors and directors are wasted. Read full review
