At no point during this film did I feel Chanel's character to be portrayed in anything other than a flat unnuanced way. There were no insights, no demonstration of how radical she was, how WILD. Instead all that the film seemed to trot out were stereotypical lesbo/cross dressing themes. There were many and some very famous women contemporaneous with Chanel who impersonated men on stage - Vesta Tilley for one, who could have provided the model her to follow - did we get any sense of their existence? No we didn't. Did we get a real sense of the limited options available to women at that time? Only slightly. I wasn't convinced by this film at all although I though Audrey Tatou did as much as she could do with the material she was given. the whole could have been a whole lot better.
