The thesis that finally emerges — a young generation still short-changed by the old — is hard to argue with.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

There are obvious omissions – notably John Lydon – in this mad mash-up of documentary and fantasy and whatever you’re having. Still, if Askew’s film is formally jagged and uneven in content, it compensates with attitude.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

It does all ultimately embody the spirit of punk — a bit rubbish.

Film Threat

Lack of clarity and disjointed information is ultimately what keeps Wake Up Punk from joining the ranks of the great punk docs that came before.

Rated: 5.5/10

Chris Wasser

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It lacks clarity and focus, and perhaps that’s intentional, perhaps that’s punk. But it’s still a mess, and Corré is difficult to warm to, his tasteless, pointless “protest” serving only to highlight his own privilege.

If only Askew’s documentary was as interesting as its chief contributor Westwood.
