MovieMail's Review

A straight filming of McDowell’s one-man tribute to his great friend and mentor, Lindsay Anderson, Never Apologize is, by turns, perceptive, wistful and uproariously funny. McDowell, notably, worked with Anderson on a number of film and theatre projects, from 1968’s If.... to a West End production of Holiday in 1987, but their close friendship lasted until Anderson’s death in 1994. Delivering a captivating oral history of this partnership, McDowell gets an opportunity not just to flex his acting muscles (there are amusing impersonations of Anderson, Rachel Roberts, John Gielgud and even Bette Davis) but to create a vital ‘live biography’ of one of post-war Britain’s most important directors. And although he occupies the stage alone, the actor never overshadows the material: Anderson looms large in every anecdote and recollection, every joke and aside. The result is a genuinely loving and, occasionally, mildly scathing celebration of the great man’s wit, talent and judgement, and is a wonderful epilogue to a 20-year collaboration.
