You can always tell when an actor is pretty good when you forget who they are as they become or morph into the character they are portraying. Not particularly a Ewan McGregor fan but to give credit where credit is due he excels as Halston, in voice, persona and character. A tragic, inspiring and totally watchable account of a genius designer’s fame, fortune and eventual demise. Also stand out was Krysta Rodriguez Liza Minnelli character who was absolutely brilliant, beautifully captured and adorable. Striking and exact copies of the designers cat walks, fashion and shows along with a very dainty glimpse around the periphery of the hayday and excess of Studio54. For all involved in the shadows who make everything look fabulous 👏 👏👏The last impression of Halston we are left with bearing in mind he led a life of utter narcissistic hedonism along with the absolute insane amount of nicotine (most scenes involved a cigarette) and cocaine abuse he consumed during his later life was a very gentle escape even accepting he would never own his own name was being able to spend the remainder of his days driving along and around the pacific coast highway until his died in 1990.
