Linda Marric

HeyUGuys

A fine documentary about a billionaire who lost it all, it takes care to avoid the obvious but its broader points sometimes get lost.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

The film is happy to be charmed by Su's undoubtedly engaging and ebullient personality, but doesn't really dig deeper.

Rated: 2/5

The Upcoming

With a larger-than-life character like Su taking the spotlight, there's rarely a dull moment to be found. However, there's perhaps too much time spent getting to know the businessman's quirks than delving into the conspiracy framing the film.

Rated: 3/5

Rob Aldam

Backseat Mafia

By the end of the film it's still impossible to tell whether he's been wronged or whether the last decade has taken its toll on his sanity.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

Filmmaker Tom Meadmore goes too deep into the banking details, and he also struggles to find the core thrust of the story.

Rated: 3/5
