André Leon Talley is an ideal figure for a documentary: smart, eloquent, widely accomplished, and undeniably charismatic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2022

The most interesting aspect of this slightly over-long documentary has Talley and numerous old friends recall him growing up in the segregated South before embarking on a most unlikely career in New York. Well worth checking out.

Gospel According to André is a story of how strong people can overcome great odds. And in a time of great division and racial tension in America, I think it is a vital story to be told.

Novack is aware of the imagined incongruity of Talley in these places and outright rejects it, making The Gospel According to Andre not only a portrait of its subject but a challenge to our assumptions ...

Expressive, often joyful, endlessly interesting, informative, and occasionally emotional. There have been a great number of docs in the last few years about the fashion world, but few have the expansive reach and complex history of this one.

There really isn't much to decry about the craft or structure of this film. It's very entertaining and engaging for an audience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 11, 2020

...Talley is a thoughtful and forthcoming interview subject, resulting in a documentary that will interest even people who generally buy their clothes at Old Navy.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 26, 2018

A thoroughly entertaining and moving look at the man and his world - both offer glamour, style, gossip, and fame, with a back story of hard graft and struggle. We never really get to the heart of the man though. Watch while wearing your "for best".

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 18, 2018

If Talley is now considered an institution within the fashion industry we can see that he didn't achieve this status merely by camping it up at parties.

This gospel may be joyous and uplifting, but it could have used more depth and soul.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2018

You don't have to be a habitué of the fashion scene to enjoy this entertaining documentary about the iconic André Leon Talley, the man behind the myth.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 11, 2018

From his own gospel, André Leon Talley is too savvy and intelligent to create such a documentary. Here he proves he has substance behind the style.

| Oct 11, 2018

Too often [Talley] is unwilling to let his fabulous, flamboyant guard down. Disappointing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2018

I'm a sucker for this sort of film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2018

Pleasantly fills a 90-minute gap, but probably one for fashion nuts only.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2018

Talley strikes you as a man of sincerity and depth behind all the air-kissing and lamé.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2018

Indeed, the film is alive with unintentional comedy...Which helpfully distracts from the deadening effect of the surrounding film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2018

What gives the film its more lasting poignancy is Talley's discussion of growing up in an African-American community in North Carolina.

| Sep 27, 2018

Novack follows Talley's lead, but at a polite distance.

| Sep 25, 2018

It's a disappointing result for a man as incredible as André Leon Talley.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 27, 2018
