Ashley Clark Sight & Sound 07/31/2018
Simultaneously elegiac and light, dense and accessible, The Stuart Hall Project is a singular work with a built-in replay value, and possessed of its own distinct sensibility. Go to Full Review David Gritten Daily Telegraph (UK) 09/06/2013

It's a rare and welcome film that devotes itself to the life of a British public intellectual, especially a man as intriguing as Hall. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 09/05/2013

An absorbing account. Go to Full Review B. Ruby Rich Film Quarterly 02/28/2020
In the end, audiences not well versed in the intricacies of Hall's career, and even some who are, will be lost - but then found through the remarkable scenes and sounds of a lifetime of Hall speeches, television interviews, and thoughts. Go to Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue 08/23/2018

02/09/2014 A movie about my main OU lecturer, I was always going to be biased! But this is an excellent documentary to chart the radical post-war Left in Britain and the integration of the Windrush generation. See more 01/28/2014 A marvellous tribute to an under-celebrated British intellectual... are there still any of those left? Brilliant. See more 09/21/2013 Poetic and soundtracked by music from Miles Davis completely befitting of the mood. Mostly made of soundbites and snippets of footage and it is a gradual build up of the whole picture. Little patience will be rewarded. See more Read all reviews
