Times (UK)

The film that hangs around the stats, alas, is well-intentioned yet featherlight.

I can’t think of anything more pleasurable than watching heavy machinery extrude scoured fibres, weave yarn into bolts of jacquard or use lasers to create whiskering on denim cloth.

Dorothy Woodend

The Tyee (British Columbia)

Hunter keeps the action moving at a brisk pace, packing in not only Powney’s personal story, but also explaining how... the concepts of circularity, transparency, sustainability and other means of shaping the industry for the better have come into effect.

Tom Shone

Sunday Times (UK)

Katharine Hamnett provides a much-needed burst of foul-tongued temper near the end of Hutner’s film, which is often reduced to simply illustrating Powney’s talking points.

Rated: 3/5
