“Damon Albarn, adopting the passive voice, claims Blur’s reunion “appeared like it was needed”. Whereas he falls simply in need of admitting it outright, viewers of Toby L’s entertaining and emotional movie might infer that it was Albarn who needed it most. The digital camera doesn’t lie. Originally it accompanies the singer on a drive to his Devon house where, he explains, “he lives alone” (presumably since his current separation from long-term companion Suzi Winstanley). The sense of a person unmoored, particularly among his romantically settled Blur bandmates unwinds.” - MOJO (september 2024).
