Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A very good film, beautifully shot and edited, intelligently structured and -- to risk what will surely seem at first a highly inappropriate term -- charming.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
3 Aug 2008
fresh:
The movie is a very shrewd mixture of documentary and realistic fiction, put together with both eyes and ears on entertainment value.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
An interesting, rather slick and excessively long documentary about the small but intensely competitive world of body-building.
– Richard Eder,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
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.
– Glenn Abel,
Hollywood Reporter,

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.
