Jones struck gold when both Lavelle and DJ Shadow opened their personal video vaults to him, and even if he does rely on a number of talking-head interviews, the film feels largely primary-source. Sep 1, 2018 | Full Review…

A bigger question goes unanswered: was trip-hop really that important? Looking back, it seems rather joyless and po-faced. Aug 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

One for the Mo'Wax purists. For the uninitiated, this can be hard to sit through. Aug 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

While The Man from Mo' Wax follows a conventional doc structure as it charts its subject's rise, fall and last-act resurgence, Jones finds more inventive ways of framing Lavelle's saga. Dec 28, 2018 | Full Review…

It's fascinating viewing for anyone who wants to try to figure out how someone who 'had it all' could have let it all go so horribly wrong. Oct 1, 2018 | Full Review…

Certainly a fascinating watch and never anything but engaging - but you're left feeling that this is far from the full story of James Lavelle, and instead it's maybe more put together to tell a cinematic narrative. Sep 17, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

This is scorched earth documentary filmmaking, all justified by the fact that Jones does eventually manage to justify why Lavelle is some kind of a genius. Sep 1, 2018 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

While it's obvious that fans of Lavelle and his many creative ventures will get the most out of The Man From Mo'Wax, this remains a fascinating insight into both the hubris and vulnerability of the music industry. Sep 1, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
