Critic Reviews for The Stone Roses: Made of Stone

All Critics (29) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (7)

Energetic and upbeat, this draws a fringe over why the band keep self-destructing, making it uninsightful, particularly to the uninitiated. But, hey, let's be honest: who else but true fans are going to watch it anyway?

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh
Metro (UK)
By the time the long, throbbing concert finale begins, there is no doubt that Mr. Brown's intensity has not faded over the years and that the Stone Roses' breakup was a serious loss.

Anita Gates
New York Times
Made of Stone is a faithful, fan's-eye account of the band's return that also serves as a good primer in their music and their massive influence for the uninitiated.

The Playlist
What Meadows has produced in effect is the cinematic version of those glossy brochures that go on sale at high-end concert venues.

Ryan Gilbey
New Statesman
It's an adulatory recording of the band - that's right, he adores them - but it's much more than that.

David Sexton
London Evening Standard
[Meadows] has no agenda; he just loves the Stone Roses, and it's a great, heartfelt tribute.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
Is Meadows' Made of Stone a fanboy movie? Absolutely and unashamedly.

Joseph Walsh
CineVue
There's a marvellous little film lurking inside Shane Meadows's loving documentary The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone but you have to get through some slush to find it.

Jason Solomons
The Mail on Sunday (UK)
"Made of Stone" is packed wall-to-wall with performance footage past and present. The reunited band proves to be quite muscular, and the tunes have lost none of their luster.

November 14, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Jamie S. Rich
Oregonian
Some may find Meadow's lack of journalistic rigour frustrating, but the filmmaker has ultimately created something different - a heartfelt tribute to one of Britain's most important bands, as seen through the eyes of its fans.

Cara Nash
FILMINK (Australia)
This is very much a fan's-eye view of the Roses. But Meadows' lack of critical distance from his subject pays off in spades by allowing him to capture the passion the Roses inspire in their fans.

Movie Talk
It would be hard to deliver a more worthless documentary about The Stone Roses than the one Shane Meadows serves up here.
