ReceptionAnton Bitel of SciFiNow gave the film four out of five stars and wrote, "While Spira deploys an abundance of archival footage – interviews with the actual Lee and clips from his many, varied films – he also fleshes out his otherworldly narrator with marionettes and beautifully abstract animated inserts."[3] Joel Harley of GamesRadar+ also gave the film four out of five stars, writing that "Christopher Lee is lovingly profiled in this biographical doc."[4] Spencer Perry of ComicBook.com wrote, "Even viewers that enter The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee knowing him from only a handful of roles will come away from this with a complete picture of who Christopher Lee was and how he continues to define elements of entertainment after his death."[5] References
