Through a chain of exciting events, this documentary movie tells the biography of Lee Alexander McQueen, the British designer who left such a great successful mark in his profession before his untimely death in 2010. Also, the movie highlights on his personal life and who he achieved his famous position.
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.
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.
[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.
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.
"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.
