Leave your thoughts about The Stone Roses: Made of Stone.
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeMade of Stone is breathtaking cinema, though unlike the title, the one thing that isn't made of stone is your heart, as you need to be prepared to shed a tear or two. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThere is little for those new to the band, whose appeal and individual characters go undefined. |
| London Evening StandardDavid SextonIt's an adulatory recording of the band - that's right, he adores them - but it's much more than that. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawMeadows is clearly not interested in lifting the biographical lid on anyone, just getting alongside the band, and picking up on their energy, vulnerability and excitement. He has no agenda; he just loves the Stone Roses, and it's a great, heartfelt tribute. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)David GrittenDirector Meadows (This is England, Dead Man’s Shoes) has crafted a rowdy, raucous documentary that complements the band’s combative image; bristling with energy, it celebrates their reformation after a 16-year gap. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBlends concert footage, archive material, vox pops and fly-on-the-wall camerawork to winning effect, whether you're a die-hard fan of the band or a relative newcomer. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsIt's about The Stone Roses, but it's also about so much more. |
| Empire MagazineDamon WiseMade Of Stone somewhat brilliantly sees the individual moments and faces in the crowds, making this the best, most immersive concert film since Jazz On A Summer’s Day. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsA music treat for lovers of the band and anyone interested in contemporary music. |
| The Film StageChristopher SchobertAs fascinating and enjoyable as the end result is, Made of Stone spends too much time trying to justify its existence, and not enough time actually presenting us the band as it exists today. |
