An extraordinary talent and a remarkable life, there is plenty of great music in this very watchable and well-presented documentary.

… beautiful and involving …

... an engaging and interesting film that’s anything but bleak.

Despite the utterly amazing performance from the film’s young star, Karla is rather patchy, austere and lacks resonance …

Sandy Keayes is magnetic ...

… one of those films that leaves you feeling quietly blown away.

… hauntingly beautiful.

Sometimes cinema can transport you to another time and place so effectively that it’s almost better than travelling. The President’s Cake has this transportive quality.

You will leave the cinema feeling shell-shocked…

… a haunting concert film.
