2/5
There's not enough about the conflicts between Paul and those who controlled his records but this is a fan-like yet not too oleaginous tribute. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out 07/03/2009
3/5
Slightly woolly overall, though you might find yourself buying the CDs. I did. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 07/03/2009
2/5
It all boils down to a complete lack of focus on the part of the film-makers. Not only do they fail to get their questions answered, they also run out of material so disastrously. Go to Full Review Sam Jordison Film4 07/03/2009
4/5
A touching story, relatively well told with the bonus of a fine backing track and eloquent interview subjects. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
