Yasmin Omar Empire Magazine A watchable, if by-the-book, documentary. It’s only a pity that the conventional storytelling hems in such a deeply unconventional director. Rated: 3/5 May 17, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Digs deep into the director’s artistry and obsessions while capturing his need for on-the-edge-of-the-precipice creativity (hello Klaus Kinski) and radical optimism. And, frankly, some of the archival material is just astounding. Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Interviewees tie themselves in knots of gushing superlatives, but the real insights come from the man himself. Rated: 4/5 Jan 21, 2024 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz An entertaining and enlightening trawl through the screen legend’s filmography and life. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Rachel West That Shelf A straightforward portrait, Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer will satisfy both established Herzog fans looking for quirks and those interested in him from a pure filmmaking background. Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) This profile by Thomas von Steinaecker gets lots of intimate time at Herzog’s side to hear anecdotes and reflections from across a career of singular scope and vision.
