| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThis is highly personal artwork writ in a grand, towering script, and all the more intellectually and artistically legible for it. |

| GuardianPeter BradshawA discourse in which the artist as creator is respectfully restored to the very centre of the process, and not marginalised by the cross-currents of money, fashion or theory. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoA daunting work that will please movie lovers willing to invest their time and intellect. Now I look forward to Fiennes' next project, a feature about Grace Jones. |
