What we think

If you’re already a major Chaplin buff, there's little new info to be gleaned here, but it’s all put together into such an engrossing whole that it’s still pretty irresistible.

What others think

This film may not have all that much new material but it piercingly asks the right questions about Chaplin’s elusive reality.
Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
Directors Peter Middleton and James Spinney take the tone of a video essay, placing emphasis on authorial voice rather than faux-objectivity.
Kambole Campbell Empire
The Real Charlie Chaplin is less concerned with being an exhaustive biography than trying to pinpoint what Chaplin’s life means to film history and how we might think of him today.
