Critic Reviews

The most powerful documentary I've seen all year, and one of the two or three best films ever made about an artist or musician.Full Review

Andrew O'Hehir
Salon.com

The film is much more than a biography of the Clash's guitarist and lead singer: It's history, criticism, philosophy and politics, played fast and loud.Full Review

A.O. Scott
The New York Times

The triumph of this fond, uncontainable documentary is that it lets you hear that voice again loud and clear.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Temple introduces viewers to Strummer the punster, Strummer the womanizer, and Strummer the poseur, whom his mates could only really talk to when no one else was around.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Captures the Joe Strummer who, in the late 1970s, just about firebombed the rock establishment with his fury.Full Review
