Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) Oct 11, 2017
3/5
Occasionally a delightfully intimate filmic device, it soon wears thin and will frustrate Wolf Alice fans since the band mainly waft about in the background. Go to Full Review
Simran Hans Observer (UK) Oct 8, 2017
3/5
The love story pads out the running time to a baggy two hours; fans of the band might prefer to see them On the Stage instead. Go to Full Review
Gail Tolley Time Out Oct 6, 2017
3/5
This isn't a story of rock 'n' roll bad behaviour or larger than life characters, and in some ways that's refreshing. Go to Full Review
Olly Richards NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021
The film stops being about the band and becomes about what their work means. Not all Winterbottom's experiments pay off, but this one absolutely does. Go to Full Review
Terry Staunton Radio Times Dec 26, 2017
3/5
The dramatic elements seem awkwardly soldered on to the narrative, as if the director couldn't make up his mind what sort of film to make, and opted to have his cake and eat it, without ever really savouring either experience. Go to Full Review
Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Oct 9, 2017
3/5
This doesn't shake up the usual practices of Winterbottom films - in that context, the casual style is thoroughly familiar - but it does yield a movie that might appeal to lovers of the rock ethos in general. Go to Full Review
