For No Good Reason is a solid but surface-level look at gonzo artist Ralph Steadman's artistry and eccentricities.

It's satisfying that the film exists, as an overdue tribute to an artist who can be appreciated even by those with limited patience for Thompson's posturing prose. Oct 29, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Paul struggles to contain Steadman's profligate energies in 90 minutes, and the waning presence of Johnny Depp, loitering between poor career choices to pull on a cigarillo and point at pictures, can't give it shape. May 29, 2014 | Full Review…

The film makes it clear that not only was Steadman perfect for Thompson's work (and a big part of his success), his work stands on its own artistically. May 29, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

A mewling yet occasionally deafening - and seemingly arbitrary - soundtrack overflowing with upstart folk-rock nobodies adds little to the experience. May 29, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Ralph Steadman deserves a better documentary than "For No Good Reason," a serviceable but shallow look into his life and artistic process. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

The process of creating a painting isn't as automatically intertesting as, say, that of making a film, but...the technical and artistic inspirations that fuel an artist can sometimes be as fascinating as the finished work. Nov 9, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Despite intending to expand upon Steadman's output and impact, the documentary boils the importance of his oeuvre down to the obvious. Oct 30, 2014

Steadman's illustrations could burst with baroque details, but one thing you would never call them is "busy." They had a focus, a mission, that "For No Good Reason" often lacks. Oct 10, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
