What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dressed to the nines with not a whole lot of substance underneath, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld is a fun fashionista lark given some crucial pizzazz by Daniel Brühl.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The design is immersive, with Bruhl’s sterling performance adding depth to the narrative’s affection for its subject. Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Camilla Long Times (UK) If you want to watch several hours of two designers flinging marble busts and demanding “quails’ eggs”, amid wild disco costumes — and, well, I do — then this is a scream. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review John Powers NPR Becoming Karl Lagerfeld feels urgent and alive -- like a present day story that happens to be set in the past. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review José Criales-Unzueta Vogue It is in this push and pull between the external stoic, confident, and forceful Karl Lagerfeld and the privately vulnerable, tender, insecure man that Becoming Karl Lagerfeld becomes a compelling portrait of self-invention. Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media In Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, the designer struggles against prejudice due to his German heritage and ready-to-wear fashions, he constantly reinvents himself to be able to push ahead in the industry and lands him in the House of Chanel. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) If you like your fashion highfalutin, with occasional forays into silliness, this six-parter is for you.

Mkate P It takes a bit to see who these characters are but it's worthwhile if you like unconventional stories. The costumes are spot on and you get a definite vibe of the 60-80s. Music is good throughout and made me like this series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Sherry L Script well written and executed by lead actors. Followed his bio and life as a top designer without exploitation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Kittie Von H Great series!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Eberhard S Somewhat entertaining, and plenty of eye candy. But as a biopic, it largely concentrates on Lagerfeld’s (ever-unconsummated?) relationship with Jacques de Bascher, which frankly isn’t much of a varied plotline. As couturier, Lagerfeld is presented as more of a career-obsessed schemer than an innovative creative force. That’s an admissible standpoint but, again, does not really get one’s juices flowing. It’s well acted, no doubt, but especially Daniel Brühl seems stuck as the direction can’t really decide between serious drama or glossy soap opera. The series does not try to dig into what’s really special about the man it chooses to portray, so the experience remains frustrating. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Luz V Best fashion serie, Daniel Brühl is wonderful. waiting for season 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
