“Stacey Gregg (…) brings a striking and cinematic visual sense to her feature directing debut, which imbues the innocuous suburban backdrop with something tacit and troubling.” Screen Daily
“This introduction to Chaplin shines whenever he performs, displaying his comic genius for doing everything wrong to absolute perfection.” New York Times
“This snappy and searching doc makes a very solid fist of finding the man behind the Little Tramp.” 4/5 – Time Out
“This film (…) piercingly asks the right questions about Chaplin’s elusive reality.” 4/5 – Guardian
“[The film] combines an engaging bonanza of familiar and rarer film clips and other archival material with previously unheard audio and deft dramatic reenactments to form a cradle-to-grave account of the legend’s long and winding life.” Los Angeles Times
