Reviews
Filmmaker and subject are a match made in heaven that, cohabiting in Davies' delirious head, gives histrionic a good name.Ella Taylor, NPR
Davies isn't afraid to show the darker side of the sometimes melancholy poet - like the Turner biopic from a few years ago, this is the portrait of the artist as a conflicted and altogether human creative force.Chris Knight, National Post
It is grounded, and made most exemplary, by Cynthia Nixon's performance.Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com
