Synopsis



The film narrates how aspiring filmmakers Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, searching a subject for their underground movie, wound up discovering, mentoring and co-managing English rock band 'The Who'. The film includes never before seen footage of the band from Stamp's personal archive, including film from the 1966 Windsor festival, which was not known to exist.

Reception



'Lambert & Stamp' received positive reviews from critics. Rob Nelson of 'Variety', said in his review that "James D. Cooper's impeccably directed debut is a definitive screen bio of the Who and its-rock operatic rise." David Rooney in his review for 'The Hollywood Reporter' praised the film by saying that "A wonderfully alive behind-the-music chronicle that rescues two genuine mavericks from the footnotes of rock history."
