    Slant Magazine | Diego Costa

    The film captures Vreeland's perhaps unwitting philosophical integrity just as much as it drowns us in the exuberance of her work. Read full review

    Like no one before or since, she had what she valued most in others - good, old-fashioned pizazz. Read full review

    The filmmakers are clearly fans, and any of Vreeland's personal shortcomings - child-rearing, for instance - are only hinted at. Read full review

    The documentary mostly steers clear of Vreeland's home life. Little attention is paid to her husband or her children, and that may be partly because Vreeland didn't seem to have much time for them, according to interviews with her two sons. Read full review

    While plenty of talking heads turn up to offer breathless praise, it's no surprise that the preeminent words of wisdom are, thanks to copious archival footage, Vreeland's own. Read full review
