Here's the thing: this is a well-made documentary about a very specific world. If your teen is into fashion, dreams of working in media, or loved The Devil Wears Prada, they'll find this fascinating. Grace Coddington alone is worth the watch—she's the artistic soul fighting to make beautiful things in a commercial machine.
But let's be real: for most kids, this will be deadly boring. It's a 90-minute documentary about making a magazine in 2007. The pacing is slow, the subject matter is niche, and the whole thing feels like a time capsule from before Instagram ate the fashion industry's lunch.
The WISE scores are decent—it's safe, shows real creative process, models professional persistence. But the overall score reflects reality: this is for a very specific audience. Common Sense Media says 13+, which feels right, but honestly even most 13-year-olds won't make it through unless they're already fashion-obsessed.
If your kid is that kid? Great watch. Everyone else? Skip it.
