Biographical documentary of the war photographer Don McCullin, with sections on his upbringing, early work for the Observer and extensive war reporting for the Sunday Times until the purchase of the newspaper by Rupert Murdoch in the 1980s.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
You may have casually leafed through one of the photographer's books in the past, or even visited a gallery of this work, but this documentary is a must-see for anyone who has ever expressed an interest in this fascinating figure (and for those keen to witness what life is like on the other side of the lens).
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
McCullin is not a groundbreaking documentary, but it wears its conventional format well, taking its cues (and its power) from the photographs themselves.
Time Out London by Cath Clarke
Even just watching this impressive documentary, you feel a little unhinged by the scale of suffering.
Village Voice by Chris Packham
Famous for his war photography, McCullin's gift is his sensitivity, a capacity to feel the pain of other people that informs both the images he produced and the ones he refused to take.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
While the pictures have a stark power undiminished by the passage of time, it's the photographer's eloquent commentary that provides the film with its most moving moments
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
McCullin emerges as an unsentimental, plain-speaking, thoughtful man, disgusted at the inhumanity of war – and yet candid about how he is also personally and professionally drawn to its drama.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
His recollections are as sobering as his images, and a great many of both will embed themselves in your head.
McCullin emerges in David and Jacqui Morris’ accomplished film full of integrity, dignity and empathy.
