"Though friendly and humorous in his jaunty nautical cap, Steadman seems reluctant to give much away about his private life."

Total Film
Total Film"When a documentary feels the urge to shout about its celebrity cast with a lengthy, elaborate opening-credits sequence, could it be making up for shortcomings elsewhere?"
—
Time Out
Time Out"Even if we don't quite get to know the man, the visionary violence of Steadman's acid pen emerges to vivid effect."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"An absolute mess from start to finish, a portrait of an artist that's almost rendered redundant by his art"
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"It's satisfying that the film exists, as an overdue tribute to an artist who can be appreciated even by those with limited patience for Thompson's posturing prose."
—
Sydney Morning Herald
Sydney Morning Herald"Visually impressive but ultimately unrevealing."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Despite intending to expand upon Steadman's output and impact, the documentary boils the importance of his oeuvre down to the obvious."
