James Jackson Times (UK) That's Icons for you -- a pretty meaningless endeavour. Rated: 2/5 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) Turner and her producers discharge their responsibilities punctiliously. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Alastair McKay London Evening Standard These icons are to be valued because of what they represent to us, now. This makes for some rather questionable arguments, and also explains the identities of the nominated candidates (and those who have been overlooked).
