Documentary "A Head Full of Dreams" offers an in-depth and intimate portrait of the band's spectacular rise from the backrooms of Camden pubs to selling out stadiums across the planet. At the heart of the story is the band's unshakeable brotherhood which has endured through many highs and lows.

	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[A] documentary so charming and sincere that it will make you feel bad about mocking the band’s music for the last 16 years"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It’s such a meticulously controlled 'celebration' that there are few ups and downs to it; it all comes at you on the same unvarying level."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A watchable, if blandly celebratory and unchallenging portrait of a massive rock institution (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Phil de Semlyen Time Out	"[It] packs in plenty of story and spectacle (...) [Martin] is a magnet for the camera. He’s restless, funny, insecure and likeable (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jamie Healy Radio Times	"It’s in the recording studio and on stage where these four rather ordinary blokes function as an extraordinary whole. And it’s also where Whitecross’s film really reaches out to the fans (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ben Travis Empire	"It’s a film designed to remind you why millions love the band supposedly nobody likes (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
