Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect in Paris, Maxine, a filmmaker in her forties who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator; Ada, a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle, a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks. As their paths cross, the film reveals the quiet resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honors the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.

Sadly, the film itself feels specious and shallow, insisting with bland and weirdly humourless confidence on the glamorous importance of the fashion world in which it is set. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Sep 15
Winocour deftly weaves in and out of their stories, and a few other women whose hard work keeps the industry ticking, with slick image and sound edits that wrapped me up in a sublime trance. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian Sep 11
2/5
It makes the fashion world seem deathly dull, as if Winocour dislikes it as much as her protagonist allegedly does. Go to Full Review Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine 21h
4/5
Couture is all about the characters and their performances within a fascinating backdrop. But it can never move past the quiet moments to reveal something potentially more dramatic, when it feels it really should. Go to Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast 5d
4/5
Jolie is exceptional. Delivering a raw performance of stunning vulnerability. Winocour’s tailored slow-burn approach to Couture delivers a très chic cut of cinema. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Mar 4
An American movie would handle this topic either with disapproval or as a creep, but fortunately Couture is French. Writer-director Alice Winocour keeps the female body the centre of this calm and kind film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
