Guardian

There's a glow of nostalgia and sadness around this heartfelt, if patched together, documentary tribute to HandMade Films.

Rated: 3/5

Fotogramas

An estimable film due to the construction of a narrative voice from its extensive material and by the number of testimonies gathered. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

El Pais (Spain)

An Accidental Studio is a joy for cinephiles, and a course on common sense, lack of vanity and wisdom in every Harrison statement. [Full review in Spanish]

Pretty great stuff here. Nice video of the making of some of the HandMade greats. Good interview choices and questions. I watched a number of those movies when they came out or as soon as I could get the video. Python, Time Bandits, Mona Lisa, Long Good Friday...all good stuff. 3.5 stars

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
