Twiggy, directed by Sadie Frost, is a documentary that focuses on the life of the greatest "It Girl" of all time: Dame Twiggy Lawson. This documentary is the first time Twiggy has ever told her story first-hand. Discovered at 16 and proclaimed as "the face of '66" by Daily Express journalist Deirdre McSharry, the model became an overnight sensation. The world saw her grace the covers of Vogue and Tatler by 17, and the New Yorker magazine devoted nearly 100 pages to the Twiggy "phenomenon" after her arrival in New York. Twiggy shook the world by giving women a whole new look and feel to aspire to. Twiggy brought an elfin androgyny to the forefront and helped revolutionize the accepted image of the female form, giving a voice to a whole new generation of women.

It's got a lot to say about British class structures, British politics, gender politics and about the world which Twiggy lived [but] it never feels heavy-handed. And like its subject, it feels really honest and heartfelt. Mark Kermode
