final para :
One biographical documentary can never capture the complexity of an entire life. Even the best examples of the genre are incomplete in some way. We might do better to take McQueen’s advice –
“If you want to know me, just look at my work.”
McQueen doesn’t just tell but shows us who the designer was. In the end, his counsel holds the key to best understanding all the lives we encounter in these films – inside their creations, their work, lies something closest to the truth of who they are.
