A Man's Story (2012)

Critic Reviews

• Philip French, Observer [UK]

  We learn surprisingly little about his work, his development and what shapes his collections.

• Allan Hunter, Daily Express

  It may not cut as deeply as you might have hoped but fashionistas will be fascinated.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  It's Zoolander without the laughs; a corporate video in the guise of a documentary, unfailingly delighted to let Boateng hold forth on the glory of Boateng.

• Andy Tweddle, Little White Lies

  Anchored by the vibrant Boateng, A Man's Story takes you on an enjoyable, if not tumultuous, ride.

• Siobhan Synnot, Scotsman

  There's much to enjoy here, even if the documentary fails to unclothe the kind of striking fashionista insights that made The September Issue so compelling.

• Anna Smith, Time Out

  Fashion fans may find 'A Man's Story' interesting, but even they may be disappointed by the lack of insight into the man and his process.

• Eve Barlow, Empire Magazine

  Tiresome puff piece about Ozwald Boateng that you'd actually need to be Ozwald Boateng to enjoy.

• Simon Kinnear, Total Film

  Sadly, rather than provide insight into Boateng's creative process, director Varon Bonicos is dazzled by the globetrotting, celeb-schmoozing lifestyle.
