Ellwood gives Culture Club and its colorful frontman an affectionate salute that should please fans, even if, unlike the director’s more forthright 2020 Showtime doc, The Go-Gos, she generally chooses diplomacy over a deep dive.

Ellwood’s use of 1980s fonts and graphics overlaid on famous lyrics come across more like an episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” rather than a fleshed-out documentary worth exploring.

Boy George and the Culture Club is a perfect example of how fleeting success can ruin friendships and destroy careers. In other words, karma is a bitch...literally. Loved it!

While much of the band’s history has been covered by unauthorized docs, Boy George & Culture Club is the one rock doc that provides reports from the band members as to what their experience in the pop trenches was like.
