	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"[A] consistently entertaining, enthralled portrait (...) Westwood is a sufficiently fascinating figure (...) to yield satisfying rewards"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Disappointingly scattershot (...) [A] cursory portrait of a figure whose fascinating life and career should have led to a more interesting film."
		Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"'Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist' uses interviews, archive footage and intimate fly-on-the-wall access to get (almost) to the heart of this remarkable woman"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The life of a fearless fashion heroine (...) The best anecdote is saved for the closing credits (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anna Smith Time Out	"Vivienne Westwood gets the doc her fascinating life and career demands (...) The perfect film to double bill 'Phantom Thread' with (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"Highly entertaining (...) Vivienne, for all her recalcitrance, is fine company (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
