“With bonfires raging around the edges of the frame, interview segments feel like communal be-ins rather than standard docu-talk. Song selection is astonishing in its range, abetted by clips of Strummer's own great-sounding world music radio show for BBC's World Service.” -- By ROBERT KOEHLER, VARIETY
