| Total FilmKevin HarleyImmaculately composed in loving widescreen, the portrait of the gypsy camps brims with life. |
| Observer (UK)Jonathan RomneyI could have stared and stared at the opening shot alone. But visuals apart, this biopic is frustratingly slack. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonIt's a profoundly depressing tale, but beautifully photographed in black and white. |
| GuardianWendy IdeAs it is, the film is a bit of a slog and bizarrely, given the subject matter, rather lacking in poetry. |
| User ReviewMark PIt's got a monkey and a mermaid in it...what else do you want? :-) |
