Craig Mathieson

The Age (Australia)

The documentary works as both a detailed primer on the duo’s partnership and a celebration of Scorsese’s love for the cinema.

Personal insights aside, the highlights of “Made in England” are the exquisite, intoxicating images from the films themselves.

Rated: 4/4

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.

Made in England is as much a lesson in filmmaking as it is a celebration of the great works of two collaborators who saw it as their duty to challenge the conventions of modern filmmaking, if not to upend them completely.

Rated: B+

Not That Rob Thomas (Substack)

It’s clearly meant as more of an introduction to their work for the uninitiated than a deep dive. But those uninitiated will walk away with a list of great movies to catch up with.

Rated: 3.5/4

[Scorsese's] humble gratitude is glorious, and Hinton’s detail is divine.

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...
