The Variety review:

"The energy, craziness and often downright shabbiness of London's early
'60s, pre-Beatles pop biz are vividly brought to life in "Telstar: The Joe
Meek Story," a biopic of the legendary producer-composer of one of the
bestselling records of all time. Bigscreen helming debut of thesp-writer
Nick Moran (cardsharp Eddy in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels") fairly
crackles with character and period flavor for its first 90 minutes but is
let down by a repetitive and tiresomely maudlin final half-hour. Cutting by
20 minutes would benefit pic's chances as a modest retro item."
