'Couture' Review: Angelina Jolie Fashion Drama Premieres at TIFF 2025
By
Richard Lawson
Summary
A review of Alice Winocour's fashion drama 'Couture' starring Angelina Jolie, which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. The review notes that while fashion is a serious business, films about the haute couture world are typically satirical. The reviewer credits Winocour for taking a serious approach to the French fashion industry, but the headline suggests the film ultimately falls flat.
