Variety

"Beautifully crafted... Multilayered, meticulously woven and a model of its kind."
Washington Post

The movie, not to mention the company, deserves praise for showing the challenges as well as the triumphs; "Dior and I" doesn't shy away from conflicts when they arise. This isn't marketing material. It's a real look at a fascinating line of work.

Stephanie Merry
San Francisco Chronicle

The documentary offers a privileged behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a business. It's also about the difficulties of the creative process, the running of an organization, and the adjustments that must be made when a new boss is in town.

Mick LaSalle
Toronto Star

One does come away with a grudging admiration for the toil and ingenuity of the many players who bring it all together.
