“As a brisk romp through the life of Dame Lesley Lawson it’ll do very nicely”
Twiggy, BBC2
“Don’t expect some sordid exposé of what the grotty alleyways off Carnaby Street truly saw in their day. But as a brisk romp through the life of Dame Lesley Lawson (née Hornby) – which is all anyone is asking for – it’ll do very nicely.”
Tim Robey, The Telegraph
Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story, Netflix
“Rebel Royals is presented entirely via talking heads – most notably, Märtha Louise and Verrett – giving it little narrative cohesion. Interesting titbits are teased throughout… But, really, everything here feels inescapably shallow: a mix of gushing comments from the film’s subjects, alarmist tabloid headlines about Verrett brainwashing Märtha Louise, and questions from the Norwegian media that are left unanswered.”
