Leave your thoughts about The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson.
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsThis incredible, personal story about an inspirational, no-nonsense figure resonates far beyond the music scene it also thrillingly depicts. |
| Austin American-StatesmanEvan RodriguezFor fans of a type of extended visual spirituality threaded with a philosophy of mild nihilism and hope, it is recommended. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeTalking to Temple, Johnson seems like a man whose eyes have been opened for the first time, finally relishing the experience of life on Earth. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonPart biopic, part arty collage film, part scenic ramble through the great guitarist's synaptic labyrinth. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangIt's a film that constantly brings us to the brink of revelation but pulls up some way short, be it through the rather indifferent shooting style, the sometimes unilluminating choice of clips and illustration. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinWilko is irrepressibly energetic, holding forth on life, love, the universe and above all the prospect of death. |
| User ReviewPhilip LI knew little of Wilko Johnson and Dr Feelgood apart from they were all from Canvey Island. I did know of his diagnosis of less than a year to live. I had no idea though that the impact of that diagnosis could be so uplifting. An incredible doc somewhat dreamlike but thankfully with a happy ending (if ending is the right word). |
| User ReviewKarsh DDocumentary film about the legendary guitarist who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and told it to piss off. So positive, so brave. Incredible story. |
| User ReviewKeith LBeautiful, Surreal and life affirming film. As the great man says at the end, "Why can't we just dig what we've got and stop hurting one another?" |
| User ReviewBerni E100% positive reviews from the critics and rightly so!! |
