A documentary about fashion icon Iris Apfel from legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles.


The critical consensus

Late director Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter) beautifully captures her personality and her passion for creativity.

****(*)Anna Smith, Empire Online, 27/07/2015

Late Grey Gardens director Albert Maysles turned his lens to one of New York’s darlings of style, resulting in an engaging but minor film.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 30/07/2015

New York fashion guru uses charm to keep film-maker at a distance.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 31/07/2015

A love letter to individualism, and the love that fuels it.

****(*)Matt Thrift, Little White Lies, 31/07/2015

Sufficiently demonstrates what made Maysles, who died earlier this year, great.

***(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 01/08/2015

Iris Apfel, the beloved 93-year-old New York fashion icon, is a fitting subject for Albert Maysles’s penultimate film.
