Total Film
pressThough friendly and humorous in his jaunty nautical cap, Steadman seems reluctant to give much away about his private life.
Time Out
pressWhen a documentary feels the urge to shout about its celebrity cast with a lengthy, elaborate opening-credits sequence, could it be making up for shortcomings elsewhere?
The Guardian
pressEven if we don't quite get to know the man, the visionary violence of Steadman's acid pen emerges to vivid effect.
The Dissolve
pressAn absolute mess from start to finish, a portrait of an artist that's almost rendered redundant by his art
Sydney Morning Herald
pressIt's satisfying that the film exists, as an overdue tribute to an artist who can be appreciated even by those with limited patience for Thompson's posturing prose.
