      Reception


      On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 42 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Director Lucy Lawless acquits herself terrifically as a documentarian with this impressive first feature, helped along by an indomitable subject who proves impossible to look away from."
      Joe Leydon of Variety wrote, "The thin line between cheating death and chasing it appears to have been smudged, repeatedly, by maverick video journalist Margaret Moth, the subject of first-time filmmaker Lucy Lawless' fascinating documentary Never Look Away. At least, that's the impression we're left with at the end of this compact yet complex portrait of a singularly and aggressively unconventional war correspondent who inspired equal measures of admiration and anxiety among her friends, colleagues and lovers throughout her 20 years of assignments in the world's trouble spots — Baghdad, Sarajevo, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Zaire, you name it, she was there — for CNN."
