	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Michael Winterbottom's high work rate inevitably yields some throwaway items — and unless you're a Wolf Alice obsessive, this kinda-rock-doc is one."	NEG
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s all pleasant enough to watch (...) However, those not so turned on by such entertainment might question whether the film really needs to be nearly two hours long, especially when there’s so little drama to sustain it"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The director adds a romantic relationship story to his documentary about alt-rockers Wolf Alice to create a difficult cinematic hybrid that’s his best film in years (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"It becomes a real slog to sit through, made up mostly of endless shots of equipment being loaded in and out of venues or cliched time-lapse images of motorways."	NEG
United Kingdom	Kevin Harley Screendaily	"A distinctly on-the-hoof portrait of a once-only moment in a fast-rising band’s upwards curve"	POS
