Critic Reviews of "Soul Boys of the Western World"
Chicago ReaderMay 14, 2015This has the quality of an illustrated oral history, though the incessant nostalgia and revisionist history are exhausting.
Los Angeles TimesMay 07, 2015An energetic, entertainingly assembled documentary portrait ...
Time OutMay 01, 2015This 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.
New York PostApril 29, 2015The 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 TimesApril 28, 2015You won't be convinced that Spandau Ballet was the best band of the 1980s. Even if they did have the best bums.
Village VoiceApril 28, 2015It 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.
Tribune News ServiceApril 30, 2015Standard issue band history doc, but it smartly finds depth in a particularly shallow era in pop.
The DissolveApril 28, 2015The 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.
Under the RadarApril 28, 2015[Soul Boys] does a fantastic job explaining the youth movement that birthed the New Romantic genre.
Screen InternationalApril 27, 2015An 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.
Independent (UK)October 03, 2014[Hencken] makes a very persuasive case for Spandau Ballet's place in the Britpop pantheon.
The ListSeptember 30, 2014This trawl through the band's history has enough guile and guts to keep you watching.
