Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Duane's perceptive camera picks up on the moments when Drummond's robust self-belief wobbles... Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian [An] intriguing and sometimes hilarious documentary... Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …finds the artist, retiring pop star, art terrorist and general free thinker in fine fettle… Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Paddy Kehoe RTÉ (Ireland) So, in conclusion, a slightly fusty air of nineteenth century good works and leatherette prayer books meets a version of late English hippiedom and unshowy sharing. Unshowy, yes, even if that film-maker chap insists on recording it all. Rated: 4/5 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia It's never anything less than enthralling. A documentary which allows its subject to take centre stage. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member My favourite aspect to this documentary is seeing Bill just go about his business (making beds, baking cakes, banging a drum etc) and the quizzicle faces of the people of the towns he visits - some get it, some don't and some just accept he is doing what he is doing. The world needs more Bill Drummonds! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
