Reception

Upon its release the film received generally positive reviews.

Reviewing from The Irish Times, Tara Brady complimented Polunin's performance and also awarded the film four stars. Wendy Ide from The Guardian praised the archive footage and called it a "handsome documentary does a fine job of both capturing the breathtaking precision and physicality of Polunin at the top of his game". However, she criticised that "the truth is rather more complex than the unsettled family background that is squarely blamed", and gave the film three stars. In a mixed review, Peter Bradshew from The Guardian critiqued the film as "a sympathetic, serviceable but respectfully unintrusive documentary".
