4/5
In other words, it’s a moral tale -- or, in this case, an amoral one, since Galliano emerges from Macdonald’s film as being naively tone-deaf to society’s sensitivities. Yet, it’s also clear he inspires great affection in those who have worked with him. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator 03/14/2024
I went into the cinema wanting to hear what Galliano had to say about it all... But the film never properly gets to the bottom of it. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 03/12/2024

High and Low – John Galliano is a compelling, honest and intelligent examination one man’s meteoric rise and self-inflicted fall. Go to Full Review John McDonald Australian Financial Review 06/18/2024
For Galliano, whose psyche resembles a ball of wool that’s been with the kittens for a few days, his fall from grace seems to have arrived in stages. Go to Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 06/13/2024

You can come for the clothes, the scandal or the so-called redemption arc and feel satisfied by the end. A slam dunk. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David F @dfulmer Dec 24 Another good fashion documentary. See more Penelope Y @RT31899006 11/03/2024 An interesting insight into Galliano’s own personal perspective of what eventuated to fashion’s most famous career crash. From the Highs of being at the top of his game and leading the most respected luxury brand run by the the most powerful company in the industry, to falling rapidly into the Lows of ill events that lead him to lose himself and dwell into a toxic lifestyle that was so destructive it became headline international news, a court hearing and trauma for all involved. I’ve watched a ton of fashion documentaries about the demanding luxury career and this goes up there alongside Dior and I, Lagerfeld Cinfidential and McQuren and I, etc. See more Kendel 03/09/2024 An incredibly modern and luxurious setting. The Q&A with the Director afterwards made for an exceptional experience. The documentary speaks to the truth of a lived experience and leaves the viewer with the space to contemplate the friction between two truths. See more Read all reviews
