What keeps McQueen from being a brilliant doco is its willingness to skim over the darkest parts of the designer's life.

McQueen is a stunning ode to everything Alexander managed to do while he was still alive. Be prepared to cry.

The filmic quality of this journey is striking, making for a documentary as engaging as any dramatic biopic.

I'm not interested in most fashion designing, but Alex McQueen's an enigma. I was hooked from beginning to end. Brilliant.

Brilliant from start to finish, I've seen this serval times. It not only shows McQueens work but explains it in such a beautiful way. My issue was a few of the people being interviewed didn't add much to the film.

A touching glimpse into the life of Alexander McQueen. For those who don't know much about the late fashion designer, this will provide you with an eye-opener into the highs and lows of his world and of the fashion industry. Intimate, tragic and mesmerising.
