Twemlow never made a masterpiece, but this sweet, moving film will convince you that in a funny way he did. Many, in fact, all in his head, and this film is the closest we’ll ever get to seeing them.

If this affectionate, informative documentary encourages more people to check out Twemlow’s films and/or to delve into this record of a unique point in time, then that can be no bad thing.

5/5

In a similar fashion to Being Frank, Mancunian Man takes an underrated northern artist whose impact could have been greater given the right breaks... An essential watch for anyone remotely interested in indie film and the crazy days of the VHS era.
