	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is a solidly made niche documentary, one that can stand as a more or less definitive chronicle of a band"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It] has some valuable insights (...) This affectionate and frank movie can elicit newfound admiration for a slightly mellowed iconoclast."	POS
United States	Chris Barsanti The Playlist	"Fitfully revelatory and charming (...) 'The Public Image Is Rotten' makes a strong argument for the band’s greatness."	POS
Canada	Christopher Bourne Screen Anarchy	"Incisive, honest and funny (...) Fiiller and his crew make skillful use of archival material"	POS
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"[Lydon] gives a disarming account of his chaotic post-Sex Pistols career with Public Image Ltd"	POS
