Reaction: While only a minor a loss at the box office, it is more disappointing that the high profile cast of the film failed to bring in enough of an audience to bring the film success. Generally, we wouldn't want to spend $50 million on a fashion-themed genre, but the cast and director demanded pretty substantial salaries given their past successes.

"Haute Couture is a timely film, with its subject matter covering a valuable current social issue involving abuse of power and female empowerment. It doesn't hurt that the talented cast all deliver solid work in the film as well." - Leslie Vandergort, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Sure, the film's subject matter may be culturally relevant, but it's not my job to pat a film on the back for addressing social issues. The film comes across as cold and we never get to learn any of the characters beyond superficial traits." - Albert Perry, Orange County Register

"Jean-Marc Vallee's latest may be uneven at times, but there is immense talent both in front of and behind the cameras. The cast all bring their A-game, while Pacino gets a fun supporting role to sink his teeth into." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle
