Couture

During Paris Fashion Week, three women cross paths in a city pulsing with style and pressure. Maxine Walker, an American filmmaker in her forties, redefines what success means as she faces a cancer diagnosis that changes the course she imagined for her career. Ada, a young model from South Sudan, fights against a fixed plan for her life even as a web of deception threatens to pull her into a dangerous world. Angèle, a makeup artist working quietly backstage, longs to break free from the shadows and find a more hopeful future. Their intersecting paths test fame, fate, and personal resilience. The film keeps its focus tight on character rather than spectacle, letting the audience feel the price of ambition.

Couture is directed by Alice Winocour, who returns to intimate drama set in fashion world. The project is presented as an original screenplay rather than an adaptation, with production centered on Paris runways and backstage lives that shape the show.

Box office figures for Couture have not been disclosed publicly, and it appears the film is not yet released with wide international distribution. Some markets may later report totals, but no official worldwide gross has been released in advance globally.

As of now there are no major awards announced for Couture. The film has drawn early attention for its performances, particularly Angelina Jolie as Maxine Walker, and for its precise examination of ambition, illness, and the pull of backstage life. Critics await festival reactions, and festival programmers have shown curiosity.

Critics are likely to focus on the film's character portraits set against a glamorous but hollow fashion world. The drama explores resilience in the face of illness, the pressure to succeed in a public arena, and the moral costs of chasing visibility, power, and perfection in later reviews and conversations.
