Filmmaker Robert Altman takes on the fashion world. It's a lot of Hollywood stars playing roles and real fashion stars in the days heading into Paris Fashion Week. This is a mess. It feels fake as fake stories in a movie about an industry of fakes. The other problem is that it's not fake enough. It's not sharp enough nor surreal enough to be a funny satire. As in most Altman movies, this has a dozen different stories happening all at the same time. Non of them are compelling enough. Non of the fictional characters are compelling either. The most compelling part may be the cowboy boots. It's like a superficial take on a superficial world. It's an inch deep and miles wide. It's saying a lot about nothing.
