Austin Chronicle -
The whole film is a delicious excuse to gawk – at the magnificent costumes, at the diplomatic dance of museum personnel and party planners, and at the sumptuous squish of so many egos sharing space.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The First Monday in May should prove catnip to fashionistas.

The Playlist -
Though it delves into a number of topics beyond fashion, it refrains from going underneath the glossy surface. It will appeal to fans of Wintour’s brand and style devotees, but it likely won’t make too many converts outside her kingdom.

Washington Post -
The First Monday in May isn’t a deep examination of its subjects, but at least it’s breathtaking to look at.

Screen International -
From the earnest score to the breathless talking heads to the atmosphere of awestruck reverence, this is a film which takes itself every bit as seriously as its subjects.
