The Salt Path Scandal (2025) 5/5 EDIT “In the court of TV, this clear-sighted documentary finds the couple guilty of a lifetime of appalling behaviour, even if it doesn’t overtly state it. But the tears of the people who seem to credibly accuse them speak loudly and definitively. ” – iNews.co.uk Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) 85% EDIT “The idea that genius relies on emotional dysfunction isn’t really questioned here. And perhaps it should be. ” – The Times (UK) Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Lyra (2022) 100% EDIT “A profound and careful feature documentary...” – The Times (UK) Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Finding Michael (2023) 67% EDIT “The eternal tale of privileged men going off to fulfil their destiny, often to the detriment of family, is the subtext here.” – The Times (UK) Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Jane Fonda in Five Acts (2018) 97% 2/5 EDIT “Modern documentaries have led us to expect more rigour in their storytelling but this, despite its willingness to touch on family discord and so on, keeps a respectful distance that ultimately frustrates.” – Guardian Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Against the Law (2017) 100% EDIT “Mays is unobtrusively brilliant as Wildeblood.” – Guardian Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Suffragettes With Lucy Worsley (2018) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley brilliantly treads the line between Reithian historical documentary and vividly textured narrative.” – Guardian Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Long Strange Trip (2017) 100% EDIT “I'm glad I persisted. It begins as a standard, if meticulous rock doc... But the film seeks the key to the band's magic -- what elevated them from a group of musicians who toured endlessly into a US phenomenon inspiring cult-like devotion.” – Guardian May 26, 2017 Full Review Fool's Gold (2008) 11% 1/5 EDIT “No amount of gratuitous McConaughey ab-flashing (he never stops) or the parading of Kate Hudson in a weeny bikini can scrape this one off the sea bed. Plankton would be insulted.” – Film4 Apr 18, 2008 Full Review Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) 43% 2.5/5 EDIT “Lagerfeld keeps the shades down and the collar up in this glossy but inexpressive biography.” – Film4 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Marigold (2007) 31% 2/5 EDIT “As Prem's dad says of his son's feature film career, "I know nothing about dancing and the plots seem ludicrous to me."” – Film4 Aug 17, 2007 Full Review
