Benjamin Britten attends school at Gresham and transforms into a steely young man.

It's compiled with obvious affection and director Tony Britten (no relation) scores coups whenever he sets his camera in front of a choir, soloist or string quartet and lets the music sing and soar for itself.

Rated: 3/5

London Evening Standard

The material covered in this homage is fascinating but the end product could, unless you're already a huge fan, put you off Britten for life.

Rated: 2/5

Unlikely to bring the composer to new audiences, but music lovers will find it illuminating and evocative ...

Rated: 3/5

Successful in its elucidation of the composer's music style and personal politics, but the tone fluctuates far too often and some of the actors aren't quite up to scratch.

Rated: 2/5

Director Tony Britten (no relation) paints a compelling picture of the left-wing revolution which seduced an entire generation of young aesthetes.
