I just saw it last weekend and thought it to be a true to character portrayal of Valentino as one of the last of the haute couture designers. Great insight into the man and his success. Especially interesting was the relationship with his longtime business partner/lover Giancarlo Giammetti. Even if you have no particular interest in the fashion world the film is good enough to keep your interest.
On a personal note, I met Valentino on a couple of occasions in Rome many years ago while working as an assistant to a well known fashion photographer. The film brought back memories of the demanding and perfectionist Valentino I encountered at that time.
