| Filmcritic.comJules BrennerIn her three years in the garment industry, Maher may have learned her way around a sewing room but she picked up nothing about a movie set. |
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellAs a satire, Garmento is toothless. As a comedy, it's funny only in spurts. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis shaky satire set in New York's garment district is consistently undone by an inconsistency of tone and less-than-assured directing and acting. |
| Film ThreatDean EdwardWriter/director Maher has told her tale well, and the end result is a Mahogeny for the turn of the century (without the bad music or the nervous breakdowns). |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenEdgy, often humorous satire about the New York rag trade. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneAt times, Garmento looks like the real deal, but underneath the label, it's just another designer rip-off. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanHas amusing moments, but falls apart as quickly as a cheap knockoff. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA toothless, dated Seventh Avenue satire with shaky script, direction and acting - is the movie equivalent of something you'd find on the deep-markdown rack at Daffy's. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezWhat is Garmento but a lame approximation of sexier and deadlier works like Altman's The Player? |
