Reception
Anton 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." Joel Harley of GamesRadar+ also gave the film four out of five stars, writing that "Christopher Lee is lovingly profiled in this biographical doc." 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."
