Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Elizabeth Wellington
It's amazing to watch.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Westwood" is definitely better than mediocre, though you wish there were a bit more to it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
I accept that she was popular, and am even willing to take on faith that her work is brilliant. But I would have liked to know why it's brilliant.

Godfrey Cheshire
If Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist isn't a great or greatly appealing film, that may have more to do with the subject's personal limitations and unpleasantness than with the filmmaker's skills.
Slant Magazine
Paul O'Callaghan
Lorna Tucker's documentary sustains a tone that oscillates between earnest admiration and wry exasperation.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Dame Vivienne has faced the world in a spectacular way and gives those who wear and those who see her clothes the opportunity to think about who we are and what messages we want to send.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Westwood's more recent collections are amply displayed, and her style hasn't changed much in 40 years; aside from a few smart suits, most of her outfits are loud, vainglorious political statements.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It provides a fascinating, involving glimpse of both who Westwood was back in the day and who she is at this particular moment in time, so much so that we genuinely miss her once the credits begin to roll.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Tension soon dissipates, and all that's left is a much too cursory portrait of a figure whose fascinating life and career should have led to a more interesting film.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
She can be as off-putting and frustrating as she is fascinating.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
The fact that you can sense Westwood's disillusionment with the documentary project while watching it creates some interesting tension, but director Lorna Tucker doesn't fully exploit it or turn it into meta commentary.
AWFJ.org
Anne Brodie
The colour saturated film is a joy, beautiful to look at, a lovely bit of nostalgia and reminder to all of to keep on rebelling...
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist reveals a plethora of contradictions in its subject, and that makes the whole piece all the more intriguing and mysterious.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Susan Wloszczyna
This is a rare portrait of a self-made older and still sexy woman with a husband who is half her age and a thriving empire. I, for one, would bow down before her.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist is a documentary that is fairly well-round about a fantastic lady of fashion who is also a passionate activist and punk rock as can be.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Lorna Tucker's consistently entertaining, enthralled portrait of aberrant British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
A talented, multidimensional woman with a wealth of experience and the confidence to know she's usually right. What a Dame!
AWFJ.org
Sandie Angulo Chen
Whether all you know about Westwood is that she's actress Helena Bonham Carter's favorite designer, or you're a fan who can tell her different collections apart, this documentary has a lot to offer about one of the fashion world's most interesting icons.
AWFJ.org
Jennifer Merin
This entertaining chronicle, richly composed of archival footage and on camera interviews, retraces Westwood's pattern for contemporary culture and politics. It delivers all that its title promises.
Bay Area Reporter
Erin Blackwell
If you're a free spirit, you'll enjoy this spirited backward glance at a great British designer, provocateur, businesswoman, whose smash-the-box approach continues to inspire in these dull gray days of our despair.
