Doc captures the superficial appeal of designer's work but offers nothing deeper.

John DeFore
Hollywood Reporter
Showing the personal toll that produces a star in any field could be a soggy, predictable drag, but the documentary "A Man's Story" never slides into easy sentiment or bromides.

November 2, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Farran Smith Nehme
New York Post
Vonicos ... misses an opportunity to make a feature-length documentary that takes the full measure of his subject's work.

November 1, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Nicolas Rapold
New York Times
The result often plays more like a satire of the fashion industry than a serious look at one of the humans inside it.

A Man's Story never gets its man.

Sam Adams
AV Club
Bonicos's documentary on fashion icon Ozwald Boateng nonetheless evinces a minimal amount of interest in digging into what makes its subject tick.

October 31, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Andrew Schenker
Time Out
Hanging out with Ozwald Boateng for 98 minutes feels far too long as he is rarely probes about either himself or his profession, and as a result his film often resembles a drawn-out reality TV show.

August 27, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Isabel Stevens

An honest and well-structured documentary - truly engrossing viewing, whether you're aware of Boateng's work or not.

August 24, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Joseph Walsh
CineVue
Ozwald Boateng may be the only designer who is more compellingly attractive than any of his models, and this less-than-deep documentary fully captures his undeniable charisma.

David Noh
Film Journal International
We learn surprisingly little about his work, his development and what shapes his collections.

Philip French
Observer (UK)
It may not cut as deeply as you might have hoped but fashionistas will be fascinated.

March 9, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Allan Hunter
Daily Express (UK)
There's much to enjoy here, even if the documentary fails to unclothe the kind of striking fashionista insights that made The September Issue so compelling.
