Rating: 3/5 -- Yes, it's a feature doc about a hairdresser. And you can wipe that supercilious smirk off your face right now. Full Review

I could have done with something a little more critical than this polished, adulatory film, which comes over like a curtain raiser to be shown at a gathering of his 10,000 employees worldwide. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Would have been more effective as an hour-long TV doc. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- If Vidal The Movie were a haircut, it would be a peek-a-boo fringe. Now you see him, now you don't.

Rating: 2/5 -- The story of "the greatest hairdresser who ever lived" isn't given enough historical context: one of his Sixties contemporaries, designer Mary Quant, is on hand to reminisce, but the rest of the decade is merely a blur in the background. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Though you'd never have anticipated it, Vidal Sassoon emerges as an genuinely likable figure of some substance in this admittedly hagiographic documentary. Full Review

Rating: B- -- The film feels superficial even for something set in the fashion world, and after chronicling Sassoon's unlikely ascent, it all starts to feel air-kissy and fluffy. There is a great story here, though, and Sassoon is undeniably inspirational. Full Review
