      Audience Member this film is rough and silly, there is no good script, characters are not good nothing in it is good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Es una película hecha con cariño y música que te harán apegarte a ella, cosa que no logra el director y reparto Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilariously terrible. Of course we don’t expect any level of reality, but the representation of the industry is farcical, how he got that cast I’ll never know. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/19 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) Svengali ought to be sharper, but this good-natured, clunky labour of love feels about as fresh as a 2002 copy of the NME. Rated: 1/5 Mar 23, 2014 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Hard to dislike entirely, but that initial pep wears off - and it's sad that any project should now be wasting Vicky McClure in the tagalong girlfriend role. Rated: 2/5 Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies Paper-thin music industry satire which is (almost) saved by the sweet chemistry between leads Jonny Owen and Vicky McClure. Rated: 2/5 Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Rhian Daly NME (New Musical Express) Look through his 2D vision of the rock world and that's actually what makes Svengali a deeply touching experience... Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast The film is full of heart, thanks to the doe-eyed innocence of Dixie. Rated: 4/5 Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail With shots of Tower Bridge etc, the mostly London-based story is as conventional as they come. [But} Owen is certainly a very funny screen presence. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
