Interesting documentary for those who enjoy the subject, 3 October 2009
7/10
Author: KVolchok from Portugal

R.J Cutler's latest documentary,The September Issue chronicles the research,the shoots,the articles and pretty much all the work put into the 2007 fall-fashion issue of Vogue,the world's most influential fashion magazine.The documentary shows how the magazine trough its legendary editor-in-chief,the British Anna Wintour, dictates the agenda for an entire industry.The documentary also tries to humanize Wintour( she has become as much an institution in the fashion world as her magazine)who is public perceived as inscrutable,rude, and emotionally distant but at the same time it shows how she can make or break a designer and how serious and adamant she is when it comes to work. However creative director Grace Coddington steals the show,her genius and eye for creative art are quite impressive. Even her life story which is briefly told came trough as truly fascinating and overall much more interesting then the information we are given(trough short interviews) about Wintour.The cinematography was great, specially this being a documentary; it was beautifully shot and the musical score is absolutely perfect and very suiting. I enjoy fashion and I'm fascinated by the fashion world, so, obviously this movie had instant appeal to me and overall I found it entertaining and insightful;however, I think the documentary is not strong enough to convert skeptics; if you're not curious or you just don't care about fashion you should probably skip this one.

7.5/10
