Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
Rachel Saltz, New York Times: POOR "A bad reporter and an indifferent interviewer, [Whitney Sudler-Smith] demonstrates little interest in fashion and less insight into Halston, whose talent and far-reaching influence come as a surprise to him." (Read the full review...) 265 words, 01/20/12 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: WEAK (cg) "Fashionistas who flock to Whitney Sudler-Smith's documentary should pay heed to the entire title: this isn't simply the biography of an American icon, but the chronicle of a misguided filmmaker." (Read the full review...) 129 words, 01/20/12 Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: WEAK "A self-indulgent pilgrimage to the shrine of '70s fabulousness... assembles a fine assortment of archival material but falls far short of its stated goal.... captures the period's beautiful-people chic; Halston remains elusive." (Read the full review...) 254 words, 02/10/12 Sara Stewart, New York Post: MODERATE (cg) "...a worthy, if familiar, story for a documentary. It's unfortunate that director Whitney Sudler-Smith seems to have spent more time on his own hair than his interview prep." (Read the full review...) 218 words, 01/20/12 Eric Hynes, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...comes on like a bio but is really just a ghastly vanity affair for one Whitney Smith, the son of a socialite who, despite minimal credits to his name, feels entitled to make Halston's story his own."

Eric Hynes, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...comes on like a bio but is really just a ghastly vanity affair for one Whitney Smith, the son of a socialite who, despite minimal credits to his name, feels entitled to make Halston's story his own." (Read the full review...) 229 words, 01/18/12 Sam Adams, AV Club: FAIR (cg) "...did he genuinely believe he was democratizing fashion? 'Ultrasuede' doesn't answer that question, or endless others, but at least [director Whitney] Sudler-Smith has proof that he spent ample time with the beautiful people." (Read the full review...) 456 words, 01/19/12 Diego Costa, Slant: MODERATE (cg) "The tension between the amateurish interviewer and the star interviewees who either school the filmmaker, roll their eyes, or belittle him gives 'Ultrasuede' a layer of authenticity that its otherwise formulaic structure and storytelling fail to find."

Leslie Felperin, Daily Variety: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "The fascinating story of Roy Halston, the iconic designer who defined 1970s fashion in America, is patchily recounted... In sartorial terms, the fabric is to die for, but helmer Whitney Sudler-Smith's docu follows a banal pattern, while the finishing lacks finesse." (Read the full review...) 585 words, 09/25/11 David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter: WEAK "All the ingredients are here for another juicy fashion insider film, but this Halston portrait is diminished by a clueless fame whore determined to wedge himself into the story."
