Fascinating Subject Told Well

I am 51F. Diane Von Furstenberg has been an inspiration my whole life. Yet, I knew nothing about her, except the pics of her at Studio 54.I have loved and owned her dresses. So I was ready to get into this documentary. I was pleasantly surprised by everything technical about it. It's beautifully shot and well-edited, so as to be paced just right. I love how deep they dig, but I wish they expanded on it a bit. Maybe it lacks clarity in the timeline of her life, but that's nothing that can't be solved by reading.Ultimately, this is a hugely positive doc about a complex subject. She is of her time and place, but also timeless in that she is who she's always been. I respect her more now, knowing the roadblocks she faced back then (women weren't even allowed credit cards without a husband or father co-signing!).This doc manages to go through the whole of a fascinating life without seeming to hide anything. For the watchlist of anyone into fashion, feminism or even history.

Are You a Woman in Charge?

If you need inspiration, this film takes you to some high places. True, we can't all marry a prince; however, we can all aspire to be more, especially if you were brought up in the Baby Boomer era. We had some tough rules: be a virgin when you get married; don't get a bad reputation by sleeping around; dress modestly or guys will think you're fast, etc. Diane broke all of them and boy, did she have fun! She also learned a lot, created two beautiful children and tapped into her creativity to become a woman whose taste is known world-wide. Have you seen the spread in "Town & Country" about her home in Venice?! I loved this biopic and highly recommend it, especially if you're a woman who harbors ambitions and enjoys motherhood.

A Polished, Flattering Doc

This is very well-made tribute documentary by two Oscar-level filmmakers. It's a celebration of the remarkable life of a pioneer. DVF is an inspiring figure who had the courage to live fully and now celebrates her victories. This film reflects that. But it could be so much more, if the filmmakers had the will and power to deviate from the flattering narrative a little and bring forth the humanity behind the icon. At one point we see Diane interacting with one of the filmmakers behind the cameras and saying "you're the director." This reality-tv-like moment is meant to ease our suspicion that the subject had a say in the outcome of the film, but if anything, it reveals that the filmmakers were very much aware of the adulatory nature of the project and wanted to show that it was not so. Still worth a watch, given the fascinating story. Just keep your critical eye out to see the hidden layer behind the polished veneer.
