4/5
Whatever your opinion of Tony Benn, Will and Testament is a delightful and ultimately moving portrait. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 10/03/2014
2/5
Tony Benn gets a personal and political whitewash from this fawning documentary. Go to Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/03/2014
3/5
As an alternative form of memoir, the film serves its purpose, but you're left reflecting how incredibly un-Benn-like the whole thing is: respectful, nostalgic, keen to leave cages un-rattled. Go to Full Review D.W. Mault CineVue 04/03/2019
2/5
The question that Kite never answers is who is this film for? Anyone familiar with Benn may well feel short-changed, whilst anyone unaware of the man's importance will learn precious little, so lacking is it contextually. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 05/18/2015
3.5/5
Like a family scrapbook - Benn himself approved the final cut - what is contained here is carefully curated, chosen to represent in a certain way but thanks to Benn's unnerring conviction, is no less fascinating for that. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 10/10/2014
5/5

06/29/2016 I don't think this film did justice to the life and work of such a great man... But then it's hard to cram such an extraordinary life time in to just under 90 minutes. See more 07/21/2015 The perfect way to remember Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn a moving film about Life, Love & Belief. See more 01/29/2015 As critical of Blair as he is of Thatcher. Whatever your political leaning, this is worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
