Critics Consensus

Eleven Minutes makes for a decent fashion world primer, but is likely to appeal mostly to Project Runway diehards.

Alexis Loinaz Chicago Tribune 04/02/2009
3/5
McCarroll is as cocky and cantankerous as he is compelling, which leads to a glut of histrionic moments, including spectacular scuffles with his publicists and his staff. Go to Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer 03/06/2009
3/4
McCarroll comes off as a likable and talented guy, amazingly calm as the Big Moment arrives and the guy making his models' shoes is nowhere to be found. Go to Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone 02/25/2009
2.5/4
Even if you've never heard of Project Runway, the battle between art and wicked compromise never goes out of style. Go to Full Review Richard Knight Windy City Times 03/07/2009

04/25/2010 Finished the movie as confused about it's purpose as when I started it. If it weren't for Jay McCarroll's honest, sharp and interesting personality (and the desire to see his creations), I'm not sure this documentary would have had anything substantial to say. See more 02/28/2010 Stylishly done, but without a real point of view or reason to exist. Makes you appreciate what the editors of "Project Runway" do cutting the same kind of material (pun intended) into a tight, fairly dramatic 50 minutes on a weekly basis. If you were a Jayfan, help yourself - if not, don't bother. See more 04/28/2009 I'm a huge fan of Project Runway, but not much of a fan of its very first winner, Jay McCarroll. Still I appreciated this doc's goal of showing the ongoing battle between artistic integrity and commercial viability. See more 02/22/2009 is this of Paulo Coelho? See more 02/21/2009 i want to see this movie See more 09/26/2008 A hilarious look into what it takes to put on a fashion show during Fashion week in New York featuring Jay McCarroll and a fabulous cast of the fashion industry's usual suspects. Good fun. See more Read all reviews
