The lexicon of international films said: “A loving portrait of punk rocker Joe Strummer 'The Clash', who died in 2002, which traces the musician's career and at the same time does justice to his contradicting character in all its facets. The director makes no secret of his friendly closeness to the portrayed. "
“Strummer's ideas, experiences and successes are the focus of the story, which Julien Temple arranges into an epic adventure. In virtuoso cut pictures he stages the memory of Strummer, brings music and personality, politics and humanity together ”. “A torn, raw, hand-made arsenal of authenticity - the pure substrate of an era. At a time when there is a lack of cultural inspiration. "
