The Playlist
The movie is zippy and funny...and more emotional than the man himself would ever allow himself to be. It’s a triumph.

Empire
While not always penetrating the myths around the man, this is a hugely entertaining look at one of Hollywood's larger than life figures.

The Guardian
Fantasy invigorates reality in this fond retrospective of the director who embodied the renegade heart of 70s Hollywood.

Time Out London
The film does approach Milius with a certain reverence, but it can’t disguise the fact that he’s a troubling, divisive figure: bull-headed, almost cartoonishly macho, staunchly right-wing and dangerously self-obsessed.

Total Film
[A] memorable, conventional account of a true maverick.

The Hollywood Reporter
Enjoyable but incomplete-feeling bio-doc both celebrates the Milius myth and tries to undo the damage it did to his reputation.

The Telegraph
[A] mildly engaging print-the-legend documentary.
