Leave your thoughts about For No Good Reason.
| Seattle TimesSoren AndersenMeet Ralph Steadman and his nightmare visions of a world in pain, revealed in a mesmerizing documentary. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekEngaging but uneven documentary...burdened by material that seems extraneous, not least much of the footage of Depp. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsAlthough Steadman’s artwork seems like sloppy pen-and-ink caricature, there’s a method to the madness. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferPaul's frenetic assemblage strives in vain for the cinematic equivalent of Steadman's splotchy urgency. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonAn interesting look at the work of Steadman, whose grotesque, ink-splattered art provided the ideal complement to Thompson's gonzo writing. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtA film for admirers of artist Ralph Steadman, people whose politics align with Steadman's politics and the most devoted followers of Steadman's celebrity fan, Johnny Depp. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThis is most worthwhile for its scenes of Steadman at work, flinging ink all over the place and turning the splatter marks into his signature grotesques. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThough we don't get to know Steadman the man all that well (rough time at boarding school, and yes, he has a wife and a dog), we do get to know his art. |
| Observer (UK)Jonathan RomneyEven if we don't quite get to know the man, the visionary violence of Steadman's acid pen emerges to vivid effect, partly though Kevin Richards's animations, and despite Depp's sometimes over-eager respect. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireCharlie Paul's "For No Good Reason" isn't content to be a mere documentary about British artist Ralph Steadman. It aspires to be a work of art about an artist. |
