“..Yet despite all of the visual stimulation, the film is never exhilarating..”
by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall]

“..vaudevillian, camp and hilarious, a farrago of brilliant nonsense and a surprisingly moving story..”
by Andrew O'Hagan [This is London]

“..Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is a fascinating snapshot of Ian Dury's life for his best-known years..”
by Mayer Nissim [Digital Spy]
“..Its flashes of style are sometimes lively but more often seem, like the slavish period decor, to be desperate attempts to overcome the built-in inertia of the genre..”
by A.O. Scott [NY Times]

“..It's obviously a labour of love, but it never looks laborious..”
by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian]
“..It's been made with love and respect, though in the long run it may not do much to enhance its subject's reputation..”
by Anthony Quinn [The Independent]
“..It's an energetic and vivacious film that will appeal to fans of punk rock worldwide and should find its place in the pantheon of great music-film biographies..”
by Ray Bennett [Hollywood Reporter]

“..A sometimes whimsical and magical take on the life of one of Britain's most artistically charged rock stars. Serkis shines in his role as the troubled singer..”
by Philip Wilding [Empire Magazine]

“..a messy, scattershot screenplay that struggles to find the right tone..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..A message isn't necessarily expected, but some sort of point would be nice..”
by Leslie Felperin [Variety]
