Danny Leigh Financial Times 06/10/2022
3/5
The thesis that finally emerges — a young generation still short-changed by the old — is hard to argue with. Go to Full Review
Tara Brady Irish Times 05/06/2022
3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 05/06/2022
2/5

5.5/10

2/5

Paul Whitington Irish Independent 05/11/2022
3/5
If only Askew’s documentary was as interesting as its chief contributor Westwood. Go to Full Review
