Time Out

This slapdash but endearing doc about the rise, fall and resurrection of '80s pop outfit Spandau Ballet is an inside job, packed with strong archive footage yet lacking anything you'd call truly incisive.

An absorbing and insightful delve into how the band defined the post-punk -- and consciously flamboyant UK -- music scene and went on to be an international phenomenon.

Village Voice

It helps to be a Spandau fan, of course, but the smart, layered contextualizing and historicizing of the group within the film makes it a gift for any pop-culture aficionado.

The band wasn't that great. Neither is the movie, which, if directed with a bit more sensitivity toward the latent comedy, could have been hilarious.

New York Times

You won't be convinced that Spandau Ballet was the best band of the 1980s. Even if they did have the best bums.

The Dissolve

The advantage to Hencken's approach is that it makes Soul Boys Of The Western World play like a movie version of a printed oral history.

Chicago Reader

This has the quality of an illustrated oral history, though the incessant nostalgia and revisionist history are exhausting.
