Reception

The film has an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewing the film in The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw wrote that it "is unsparing in showing his struggles with drug addiction but shies away from other personal stories". Daniel Dylan Wray wrote at The Quietus that "It's using the documentary format as a means of executing subtle PR work, to present an image of a man under the guise of a warts-and-all film, all the while carefully controlling exactly what is revealed".
