Someone earlier posted the word "mediocre" and that expresses perfectly this documentary. It starts with Westwood expressing how much she didn't want to do this, then shouting obscenities over her work. If the protagonist is not happy or interested, how can they expect us to be involved in this documentary. The editing and timeline were poorly done. I felt that her background story jumped back twice in time? And a better labeling and backstories of who was been interviewed would have helped. I always have closed captions when watching British shows orBritons. The CC went directly over the small-font labels of the interviewees.....who they were was not clear. For example an Italian man with dark glasses and heavy accent was interviewed.....had no idea who he was. Some of her assistants were interviewed, but not clear if they were current or past employees. Loved the section were her husband(?) berates an assistant and the assistant turns to the camera and makes the gagging finger. That's how I felt about most of the film. Vivianne is courageous, creative, but she also seems like a pain in the butt. Most of the ups and downs of her company are a result of her scatterbrain attitude. I am sure a lot of her employees make fun of her behind her back. The last 15 minutes were the only clear and enjoyable parts of the documentary, where you could view the different collections with the Bolero in the background.

Adam Buxton said this was worth a watch! He wasn't wrong. I thought it was great. It's interesting and funny. Vivienne and her team come across well, as real people with real emotions, going the the stresses of running a successful fashion house. Well worth watching.

This rather tedious documentary is revealing of the fashion industry but do these phony narcissists think that they look cool while having the appearance of having dressed in the dark in a thrift store?

Surely this must be a mockumentary? All the "I don't want to do this" moaning. And Sacha Baron Cohen in his best role yet as the great Dame's current husband? Of course we want to hear about the Sex Pistols and Malcolm McLaren, but that's not really what we're meant to want, is it? Do you think that the moral is that it's all too easy to go from one four letter word to another: from "icon" to "logo"?

The plain and simple truth! and the #1 thing i like is ALL THE ARCHIVE VIDEO! i ve been collecting for 15years and i avent seen some of the images! i also emailed them and THEY WANTED TO HELP ME FIND THE SOURCE! so bored of all those pretty documentary showing what the consumer wants to see! This is the truth! it is hard to be a carrying business and trying to do things right. Far from perfect, the brand still goes on and for the first time we can see what fashion really looks likes with ups and down. If you don t know her life you ll be able to know a bit as well hands down the best doc made for Vivienne Westwood.
