Amazing, inspiring and funny in equal measure.

Her zippy 80-minute film is at it's best when we hear insights from Westwood on her outlook of the world.

With amazing access, director Lorna Tucker gets up close and personal with iconic designer Vivienne Westwood to trace her life story and explore how she works.

Tucker's film is at its best when covering Westwood's extraordinary rollercoaster journey from failed housewife to outsider artist to the go-to designer.

Lorna Tucker's portrait of Vivienne Westwood uses the style of a TV arts documentary. Its main source of life, then, is the irascible, earnest and meandering personality of the dame herself, and this provides a fairly entertaining show.

A gloriously eccentric one-off and a fashion original, she is an entertaining subject for this watchable documentary.

The film sketches the rollercoaster trajectory of [Westwood's] career in bold strokes.

Dame-d by the very Queen she and her fellow punks once desired to "destroy", Vivienne Westwood has gone from national joke, ridiculed for her outré, rude fashion design, to national treasure, but at 76 she hasn't mellowed with age.

Lorna Tucker's thoroughgoing documentary deals with the punk years, the opening of the famous World's End shop and the Sex Pistols but also offers a far broader perspective on its subject.

You end up loving her and the film. This woman is unique.

Lorna Tucker's consistently entertaining, enthralled portrait of aberrant British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

The life of this visionary entrepreneur is far bigger than a single film, but director Lorna Tucker does a decent job of compacting Westwood's iconoclastic legacy.

Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist uses interviews, archive footage and intimate fly-on-the-wall access to get (almost) to the heart of this remarkable woman; although one suspects that Westwood will always keep some secrets firmly up her sleeve.
