…(Couture) centers on a few days in the life of a trio of women during Paris Fashion Week–Maxine (Angelina Jolie, giving her most raw and vulnerable performance in years due to the role’s autobiographical nature), an American film director who gets a dire medical diagnosis while filming a fashion video during Paris Fashion Week; Ada (Anyier Anei), an 18-year-old from Nairobi who was plucked out of pharmacy school to be the show’s “fresh-faced” opener who is navigating her first time in Europe with all its casual, and not so-casual, racism as she comes into her own as an artist; and Angèle (Ella Rumpf), a makeup artist who uses her down time to write about her experience in this often abusive industry.-RogerEbert.com 

“Couture provides that reflective, behind the scenes gaze during Paris Fashion Week and is equally pioneering as the first film shot at the Chanel atelier in Paris.”-Movie Marker
