      Laurie F A little bit heartbreaking, but nobody's life but his, to do with as he chose. The man is gone but his music lives on and I was deeply moved. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Say M Not knowing squat about a group and then watching this movie. #FAN4LIFE, I love Shane - I love the pogues. I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.

      David Stratton The Australian In Temple's hands it's more than a rock musical; it's a portrait of a flawed, confronting artist and ardent Irish patriot. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Tim Stegall Austin Chronicle Julien Temple gave Shane MacGowan exactly the documentary he deserves - unruly and full of heart. Rated: 4/5 Dec 12, 2020 Full Review Jonathan Romney Uncut Magazine [UK] MacGowan fans will relish the sheer exuberance of a film that barrels along with the same hectic passion as a vintage Pogues number. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2020 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) The film is about MacGowan, man and myth, and while his beautiful music appears throughout, it is very much about the shaping of his life and its playing out. Rated: 4/5 Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM (Temple) makes sure you see the faces of the crowds, belting out his songs with the passion of a national anthem, clutching banners and flags with tears in their eyes. Regardless of what his path may have done to him, it's hard not to admire that legacy Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2022 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz This cracked, craic-filled, crack-up of a documentary more than lives up to its cheeky subtitle of A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan.
