The critical consensus

Steadman makes for a fascinating subject yet this stiff film sells hum short.

Adam Lee Davies, Little White Lies, 29/05/2014

Low-key, workmanlike documentary.

**(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 29/05/2014

Paul struggles to contain Steadman's profligate energies in 90 minutes, and the waning presence of Johnny Depp, loitering between poor career choices to pull on a cigarillo and point at pictures, can't give it shape.

Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 29/05/2014

Though friendly and humorous in his jaunty nautical cap, Steadman seems reluctant to give much away about his private life. Fortunately his work – scabrous, anarchic and utterly merciless – more than speaks for itself.
