I could have done with something a little more critical than this polished, adulatory film, which comes over like a curtain raiser to be shown at a gathering of his 10,000 employees worldwide. May 23, 2011 | Full Review…

If Vidal The Movie were a haircut, it would be a peek-a-boo fringe. Now you see him, now you don't. May 20, 2011 | Rating: 3/5

Though you'd never have anticipated it, Vidal Sassoon emerges as an genuinely likable figure of some substance in this admittedly hagiographic documentary. May 19, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Would have been more effective as an hour-long TV doc. May 19, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Yes, it's a feature doc about a hairdresser. And you can wipe that supercilious smirk off your face right now. May 18, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

"Vidal Sassoon: The Movie" might as well be titled "Vidal Sassoon: The Infomercial" for all of the distance it maintains from its subject. Mar 18, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

This tiresome non-fiction film is over packed with employees, former employees and old-time business partners who insist that Sassoon is the most amazing person on the planet. Sep 17, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Lively and enjoyable, even if it seems unwilling to explore any dark corners. May 20, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The story of "the greatest hairdresser who ever lived" isn't given enough historical context: one of his Sixties contemporaries, designer Mary Quant, is on hand to reminisce, but the rest of the decade is merely a blur in the background. May 20, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Sassoon deserves this tribute and there are some interesting social insights. May 20, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The film feels superficial even for something set in the fashion world, and after chronicling Sassoon's unlikely ascent, it all starts to feel air-kissy and fluffy. There is a great story here, though, and Sassoon is undeniably inspirational. May 19, 2011 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

KInd of interesting, especially to show how boring hair is nowadays, but I didn't much care fo rthe subject and his strange, elocution-trained voice. The 80's Vidal & Beverley Sassoon TV series, with white teeth & orange tan was a low point.
