Critic Reviews of "For No Good Reason"
Seattle TimesJune 05, 2014Meet Ralph Steadman and his nightmare visions of a world in pain, revealed in a mesmerizing documentary.
Arizona RepublicMay 29, 2014The film makes it clear that not only was Steadman perfect for Thompson's work (and a big part of his success), his work stands on its own artistically.
St. Louis Post-DispatchMay 29, 2014Giving an overlooked luminary his due is reason enough for "For No Good Reason."
Detroit NewsMay 29, 2014As wonderful as it is to watch the man work, and to review many of the startling images he created over the years, the film has its dead spots.
Chicago ReaderMay 22, 2014This is most worthwhile for its scenes of Steadman at work, flinging ink all over the place and turning the splatter marks into his signature grotesques.
Globe and MailMay 16, 2014For No Good Reason sidelines Steadman's own bona fides, functioning primarily as a second-hand documentary of Thompson, stoking the hagiography of the late hipster icon.
3AWNovember 09, 2014The process of creating a painting isn't as automatically intertesting as, say, that of making a film, but...the technical and artistic inspirations that fuel an artist can sometimes be as fascinating as the finished work.
FILMINK (Australia)October 30, 2014Despite intending to expand upon Steadman's output and impact, the documentary boils the importance of his oeuvre down to the obvious.
Sydney Morning HeraldOctober 29, 2014It's satisfying that the film exists, as an overdue tribute to an artist who can be appreciated even by those with limited patience for Thompson's posturing prose.
Madison MovieOctober 10, 2014Steadman's illustrations could burst with baroque details, but one thing you would never call them is "busy." They had a focus, a mission, that "For No Good Reason" often lacks.
Under the RadarAugust 15, 2014[For No Good Reason] paints a strong portrait of the illustrator through archival footage, photography, and long discussions with Steadman about his artistic process.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)July 11, 2014A film for admirers of artist Ralph Steadman, people whose politics align with Steadman's politics and the most devoted followers of Steadman's celebrity fan, Johnny Depp.
