Reception

[edit]

The film has an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[10] Reviewing the film in The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw wrote that it "is unsparing in showing his struggles with drug addiction but shies away from other personal stories".[9] Daniel Dylan Wray wrote at The Quietus that "It's using the documentary format as a means of executing subtle PR work, to present an image of a man under the guise of a warts-and-all film, all the while carefully controlling exactly what is revealed".[11]
