Angelina Jolie is too big for this film

Alice Winocour's film "Couture" has been met with disappointment, failing to capture the essence of the fashion industry. The reviewer criticizes the movie for its lack of depth and a muddled narrative. It is particularly noted that the film leverages Angelina Jolie's personal health struggles in a way that feels shallow and uninspired.

"Couture" attempts to offer a critical look at the fashion world, but falls short. Winocour's direction is seen as insufficient, not dedicating enough time to seriously engage with the industry. This indecisiveness leaves the audience questioning the film's central theme and subject.

The film's inability to decide whether it wants to be a biting satire or a documentary leaves it in an awkward middle ground. This lack of clear direction, combined with the uninspired use of Jolie's personal narrative, results in a film that is neither compelling nor insightful.
