The September Issue

Director: R.J Cutler

Year: 2009

Stars: Anna Wintour, Anna Carrington

I had read some positive reviews of this, so when I saw it was on TV I figured it was worth a watch. Now I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the fashion industry, but elements of it do intrigue me and if a documentary's well-made, it can make almost any subject seem interesting, regardless of how relevant it is to your life.

The September Issue, for the most part, manages to do this. It follows the editor of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour, and her in-house stylist Anna Carrington as they prepare the September issue of Vogue.

The film manages to give a pretty good insight into what working for the fashion industry must be like. It's harder to get to know the main protagonists, but from what I saw I have no desire to work in fashion. But then, I never did.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
