      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Essentially a stage production of Malcolm Macdowell musing over his departed friend, and brit director Lindsey Anderson. Macdowell makes for an engaging raconteur, but only for Anderson fans.

      Audience Member Not a bad way to kill an afternoon. While this is probably more enticing if you've seen more than a couple of Anderson's films, this isn't bad. Malcolm McDowell gives some fun and interesting stories, worth a couple of laughs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Good fun to be had with legendary actor Malcolm McDowell as he revisits past memories with legendary director Lindsay Anderson. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great way to host a homage to one of Britain's best directors! A compelling and comic performance by Malcom McDowell and such a unique approach to documentary film-making with Malcom's stand-up routine. This film offers a fascinating insight into the world of cinema in the early 1960's.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Want to know what a great raconteur sounds like? Watch this film, consisting entirely of Malcolm McDowell telling stories about his mentor, Lindsay Anderson. Other characters appearing include Rachel Roberts, John Gielgud, and Alan Bates. I wish I had seen this live. At times hilarious, at times moving. Recommended even if you don't know Anderson's work. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I'd be hesitant to call this cinematic as it's essentially just a filmed talk from Malcolm McDowell about Lindsey Anderson but it is gripping, charming, witty and moving. Recommended, especially for those who loved 'If...' and 'O Lucky Man!'. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating stage show by Malcolm McDowell.

      Dave Calhoun Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) McDowell's affectionate, mischievous impersonations and clips from Anderson's body of work make for an easy couple of hours. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Martin Hoyle Financial Times An uncinematic form, perhaps, but of absorbing interest to cinema-lovers. Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film His account of Anderson's demise moves, but by then, this arch-raconteur's bluster may have sand-papered your patience. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Tim Evans Sky Cinema Affectionate, mischievous and informative, it's a rewarding insight into one of Britain's largely forgotten celluloid heroes. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Steve Watson Film4 For anyone interested in the life and work of Lindsay Anderson, however, and indeed the British New Wave more generally, Never Apologize is an illuminating piece of film. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
