Ewan McGregor (“Trainspotting,” “Moulin Rouge!”) eerily captures the creative energy, haughty attitude and self-destructive excesses of the Midwest-raised milliner whose comfortable yet chic gowns, shirtdresses and other designs conquered the Manhattan fashion scene in the 1970s. It took director and executive producer Daniel Minahan (“Game of Thrones,” “Deadwood”) two decades to adapt Steven Gaines’ book “Simply Halston” for the screen. This week, the Halston Archives and family issued a statement complaining that they were not consulted for the Netflix project and that it was “an inaccurate, fictionalized account of [the] famed fashion designer.” But it’s out there now, a warts-and-all portrayal of a talented and difficult man who eventually lost control of his company, his ability to work and even his name, which branded everything from luggage to blockbuster fragrances to a J.C. Penney ready-to-wear line.
