      Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out Slightly woolly overall, though you might find yourself buying the CDs. I did. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Sam Jordison Film4 A touching story, relatively well told with the bonus of a fine backing track and eloquent interview subjects. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Elliott Noble Sky Cinema It's clear that there isn't enough imagery to cover the narrative. This is a 50-minute radio programme stuck in 90 minutes of pixels. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Uncut Magazine [UK] The feeling that the film's subject has been over-stretched isn't helped by some crass overdubs of Paul's live performances. Authenticity starts at home. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
