Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The most fascinating aspect of this film is the dedicated training that turns average-built young men (frequently they refer to themselves as weaklings in their early youth) into superbly-created physical edifices.

fresh:
Its in-your-face images of the bodybuilding subculture's well-oiled narcissism both startled and fascinated viewers, making for an unlikely boxoffice hit.

fresh:
An interesting, rather slick and excessively long documentary about the small but intensely competitive world of body-building.
– Richard Eder,

fresh:
The movie is a very shrewd mixture of documentary and realistic fiction, put together with both eyes and ears on entertainment value.

A very good film, beautifully shot and edited, intelligently structured and -- to risk what will surely seem at first a highly inappropriate term -- charming.
