Showing the personal toll that produces a star in any field could be a soggy, predictable drag, but the documentary A Man's Story never slides into easy sentiment or bromides. Read full review

A fascinating look at the juggling act of a man who is succeeding in public, but still trying to find the answers in private. Read full review

Trouble is, even a finely tailored suit needs a body to fill it, and A Man's Story never gets its man. Read full review

A Man's Story does a major disservice to an artiste of fashion with a pretty amazing and prolific oeuvre by reducing him to a Bravo-like personality - a personality whose pettiness Boateng's work, though perhaps not his ego, clearly exceeds. Read full review
