Observer (UK)

Far more interesting than their personal ruminations are the musicians' reflections on Glasgow as a post-industrial creative hub and their memories of the welfare state that once enabled the scene to thrive.

Rated: 3/5

A sweet and inspiring soft-focus documentary about the 1990s indie music scene in Glasgow.

Rated: 3/5

One Room With A View

Lost in France just does enough for pre-existing fans of Chemikal Underground and its roster of musicians - though there will be little to pique the interest of those not already au fait with their work.

Rated: 3/5

Film Ireland Magazine

Lost in France is a bittersweet and often hilarious tale of friendship, sheer luck and the absolute power music can have. Its message is one of get up and go.
