Critic Reviews

Come to a documentary about Ed Sheeran for the pop; stay for an intimate look at marriage, loss and mental health.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to be shaken to my core by a flashy Disney promo film about a pop superstar. But the Sum of it All adds up to much more than the sum of its more obvious parts.

The Sheeran we meet throughout The Sum of It All is a little boy lost and Soutar does an impressive job bringing his pain to the screen.

The Sum of It All proves adept at upholding one of the best things a music doc can do, which is reveal its subject on a personal level.

It's a nice, intimate series about a refreshingly normal chap.
