FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's like you're attending a seminar about them hosted by Martin Scorsese... If you're interested in that kind of lens into their work, then it is really fascinating.

Austin Chronicle

Scorsese’s outsized presence in the documentary – its very framework built around his relationship to Powell and Pressburger – ends up jamming an immovable object between viewer and subject.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Frenzy

It filters cinema through a prism that’s both personal for Scorsese and universal for everyone else.

The Curb

Martin Scorsese worships at the altar of the Church of Cinema with humility and self-awareness… sharing his wisdom, intelligence, and abiding reverence for The Archers is attending a sermon given with wit, grace, and love.

A fun overview of Powell's and Pressburger's filmography through the lense of Scorsese's obsession with their work. Hopefully this will encourage more people to discover their impressive and timeless oeuvre.

Absolutely stunning from start to finish! Although it's a documentary, it's one of those films where it's such a surprise to step out into reality at the end.... They were a very special team, and this film will probably make you want to investigate lots of their films...
