Movie Reviews

Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Eve BarlowHardly hard-hitting but a thoughtful and spirited look at a man at the top of his game and a moment in time that refused to fade.
Oregonian - 7/10 by Shawn LevyThe film feels superficial even for something set in the fashion world, and after chronicling Sassoon's unlikely ascent, it all starts to feel air-kissy and fluffy. There is a great story here, though, and Sassoon is undeniably inspirational.
Guardian - 7/10 by Philip FrenchI could have done with something a little more critical than this polished, adulatory film, which comes over like a curtain raiser to be shown at a gathering of his 10,000 employees worldwide.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Sheri LindenBeyond the love fest of talking heads is a compelling life story that courses through the Depression, World War II and swinging London, all evoked in well-curated archival footage.
Film-Forward.com - 7/10 by Nora Lee MandelCombines the first history of the evanescent art of hairstyling (as both fashion and a business) with the flattering biography of the 20th century's leading practitioner.
Radio Times - 6/10 by Karen KrizanovichSometimes it's the little things that make the largest cultural impact, and Vidal Sassoon shows just how pivotal the work of one ambitious hairdresser can be.
News of the World - 6/10 by Robbie CollinTakes an enlightening look at the life of a Jewish lad from Hammersmith who became a fashion world superstar by cutting women's hair in a style that became known as "the Justin Bieber".
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertThere must be more. We will not discover it here.
AV Club - 6/10 by Nathan RabinThe film tells such a compelling, expansive story that its unwillingness to plumb its subject's psychological depths feels forgivable, though regrettable.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by Peter RainerLess of a documentary than a testimonial, Craig Teper's Vidal Sassoon: The Movie offers up a carefully coiffed look into the life of the legendary hairdresser.
