- 75Slant MagazineDiego SemereneSlant MagazineDiego SemereneIt's to Carine Roitfeld's own credit and director Fabien Constant's funky and frenetic pacing that the doc feels neither like a corporate hagiography nor like mere fashionista masturbation material.
- All the artistry and absurdity, glamour and the grit of the fashion industry are on display in the documentary Mademoiselle C.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceMademoiselle C, however, shows the reclusive style guru as the antithesis to the infamous fashion queen, and Roitfeld comes across as quite goofy and actually relatable.
- 60The New York TimesMiriam BaleThe New York TimesMiriam BaleThe filmmaking has some of the wit and irreverence of its subject, but goes on meandering tangents rather than having a cohesive vision or tone.
- 60New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAs vanity projects go, this one’s unusually well-made — as any portrait of an iconic stylist ought to be.
- Mme C. is Carine Roitfeld, ex-editor of Vogue Paris and former stylist. She’s a maternal presence – her own son calls her a MILF. Which makes for fantastic access, if minimal drama.
- 60EmpireOlly RichardsEmpireOlly RichardsHigh in gloss if not necessary insight, this is manna for fashion fans but a marginally slighter piece of work than The September Issue.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMademoiselle C should please fashion devotees while leaving everyone else scratching their heads.
- 40The DissolveGenevieve KoskiThe DissolveGenevieve KoskiMore of a fawning love letter than a nuanced profile of a woman who surely must be more fascinating than she comes off here.
- 40Time OutTime OutThis is merely a vanity project that shamelessly plugs Roitfeld’s new stateside brand.
