Always at The Carlyle Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This shallow documentary about Manhattan's famed Carlyle Hotel fattens an ever-growing genre I call the Cinema of the 1 Percent.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... simply gushes at the opulence and celebrates superficial excess without providing much genuine insight about the Carlyle's history or enduring legacy.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Director Matthew Miele has made what amounts to an enthusiastic ode to a hotel most of us never will check into.

Leonard Maltin
Writer-director Matthew Miele...is a provocateur who tries to get the ultra-discreet staff to spill some secrets with only middling results-but it's fun to see him try.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Mostly comes across like an extended episode of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Fatuous.'
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
What looks at first like it might be a 92-minute commercial for a venerable luxury hotel... turns out to be something quite different - something more melancholy and elegiac than a simple celebration of refined indulgence.
The Young Folks
Kristen Lopez
A dazzling, endearing story that will appeal to classic film buffs and history aficionados. It's light and breezy in contrast to other documentaries and that's just fine.
Austin Chronicle
Danielle White
I get that many Americans are captivated by the celebrity mystique, but many of the hotel's customers are anonymous billionaires. At least I can finally sleep at night knowing that they're always comfortable at the Carlyle.

Fun, Surprise, Secrets, Romance at this amazing Hotel
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
So it's mostly about the staff, as well as the caf and lounge and other tony accommodations you'll never experience, making Always at the Carlyle celebrity-lifestyle porn.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
It's one part history lesson and one part ode to the rapidly fading quality of refinement. But mostly, it's a chance to indulge in juicy celebrity stories, catnip for those who love that kind of thing.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Always at the Carlyle" takes a potentially juicy subject - a swanky landmark that caters to celebrities and zillionaires - and turns it into a 90-minute infomercial, with nary a revelation in sight.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
[An] insightful and occasionally revealing look at the 88-year-old Manhattan institution where the rich and famous enjoy being rich and famous.
Observer
Rex Reed
Nostalgia can be fun when it allows you to revisit the good old days when life had more style, quality, elegance, and what Kay Thompson, the queen of sophistication, called "bazazz."
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Plays like a feature-length video you'd expect to see on a loop in the lobby of a less classy version of the luxe New York institution and celebrity favorite (so basically anywhere, really).
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Why see a movie about a posh Manhattan refuge for one-percenters? Because this storied 88-year-old hotel, filled with impossibly glamorous ghosts, radiates an elegance that seems like an anomaly in this shallow age of Trump-style glitz.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Though sometimes it seems like a promotional video, the film offers a glimpse into the vagaries of class, culture, celebrity, and social mores since the hotel was first established back in 1930.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A fawning doc for the rich and those who idolize them.
New York Times
Jason Zinoman
At one point, the chef and CNN host Anthony Bourdain calls the Carlyle "completely nuts." I believe him - and would love to see the movie that actually makes the case.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
A tone-deaf celebration of Manhattan's ritzy Carlyle Hotel.
