Season 1 Review:
Unlike some modern docs, The Super Models is less like a Wikipedia page unraveled and more like a thorough record of a bygone era. Though it sometimes feels ironically superficial, The Super Models carves an empathetic, essential account of the days when models ruled the world—thanks largely to a rare, candid appearance from Linda Evangelista.

Season 1 Review:
Directors Roger Ross Williams and Larissa Bills skillfully toggle between the expected bounty of high-gloss photos and film clips and present-day interviews with the quartet, who are all in their 50s and speak with keen self-awareness and in some cases admirable candor about their experiences.

Season 1 Review:
“The Super Models” is not especially probing, which tends to be the case whenever celebrity subjects are also executive producers. They are interviewed separately and only briefly do we see them interact in the present. They aren’t asked to be particularly vulnerable or introspective, although Evangelista does go the deepest.

Season 1 Review:
Inserting their origin stories into the longer history of the modeling industry is where "The Super Models" falters. .... Seeing all the ways Campbell thrives despite this is especially rewarding. Its emotional match may be Evangelista's determination to reclaim her career after surviving a financially devastating divorce, recurrences of cancer and permanent disfigurement related to a cosmetic procedure. Through these passages, we may not necessarily feel we know these women much better than before, but at least "The Super Models" dissolves some of the illusion separating them from the rest of us.

Season 1 Review:
It is fascinating and enormous fun to spend time with them now – still beautiful but with the confidence (apart perhaps from Evangelista, whose recent years have been much the hardest of the group’s) and wisdom of age. But there are obvious lacunae. One is Campbell not being pressed on her much-reported bad behaviour (which she puts down to a drink problem, unresolved abandonment issues and misreporting here).
