Twiggy documentary review: "A lively, nostalgic portrait of an icon"

An unconventional model who became the face of the Swinging 60s, Twiggy – aka Lesley Lawson – is a fascinating subject for a documentary.

And Sadie Frost is the perfect person to direct it. Having worked in acting and fashion and directed the film Quant – about designer Mary Quant – Frost fully understands the life of a multi-tasking woman in what is often a man's world.

With ample access to Dame Twiggy herself, this tells how the straight-talking working class girl turned heads in 60s London, but was also treated abominably by some journalists and photographers.

It shows how Twiggy overcame all that (often giving as good as she got) and forged a hugely successful career.

The documentary traces the rise of her modelling profile, her high profile relationships, and the many different turns her work took, from starring in musicals to hosting TV shows.

Joanna Lumley, Dustin Hoffman and more give insights into the scene at the time, while the bond between Twiggy and her daughter gives the film real heart.

A lively, nostalgic portrait of an icon - who still comes across as remarkably down to earth.
