	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Martin Scorsese, who helped rescue the British film-makers’ work from obscurity, is the perfect person to discuss their unique and now beloved work (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Adam Solomons IndieWire	"Combining scripted, video essay-style analysis next to Powell and Pressburger’s films with Scorsese’s random observations, 'Made in England' is chronological and very watchable"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Scorsese may not have directed this engaging tour through a vital filmography, but he narrates with palpable, personal devotion to his subject"
		Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"As entertaining as it is to watch these clips, Hinton's film could be shorter. It could also be naughtier, but reverence is the key word here"
		Damon Wise Deadline	"It’s hard to imagine a more heartfelt tribute, and it’s to Scorsese’s credit that, in his 80s, he’s put aside so much time to wave the Union Jack for The Archers"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"The kind of ‘blockbuster’ film about film that will play everywhere cinema is appreciated"
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"This absorbing celebration of the great film-making partnership is elevated by the enthusiasm and authority of narrator Martin Scorsese (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Eloquent and dynamic (...) Through a sharp lens and with deep feeling, Hinton’s film is a celebration of committing oneself to art, and the creative bonds that fuel the spark"
		Anna Bogutskaya Time Out	"The talents of these two artists were elevated into something close to magic (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
