Lee Alexander McQueen was a well known British fashion designer and couturier. He began his profession as a tailor and through years he figured out how to make such an extraordinary progress in the realm of fashion. In this narrative film, we see insights about his own life and more data about his inauspicious passing.
[The directors] would have done well to shear away the obscuring frills of polite encomiums and pay more attention to the structural details of both the man and what he made.
While this documentary shows the viewpoints of many of his close friends and family, it barely skims the surface on the deep darkness that had overcome the designer.
"McQueen" doesn't even have to try to make the case for McQueen's brilliance. It's all there, right on the screen; this dude was artistically bonkers in all the right ways.
McQueen is a haunting biography that goes beyond even that live runway experience to conjure the visionary himself, in as much as he may ever be known - and in a way even his savagely beautiful clothes themselves cannot.
Even if the fashion industry is the least of your interests, this handsomely photographed rise-and-fall story offers intriguing glances into the toxic lifestyle of a creative genius.
