Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Half-appealing, half-pathetic.
– Andrew O'Hehir,
Salon.com,
16 Jul 2009
fresh:
It all adds up to a fascinating psychological study, a film that goes beyond both the public persona and the fighter's own spin to get at the frightened, angry, explosive, yet utterly understandable boy who became a very troubled and very public man.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
24 Jun 2009
fresh:
The most remarkable revelation of the movie is its subject's thoughtful, reflective eloquence and unflinching self-perception...Tyson may or may not be entirely who he says he is, but he's probably not who we thought he was, either.
– Jonathan F. Richards,

Listening to Tyson tell his side of the story, you come to understand him with new depth and complexity.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
11 Jun 2009
fresh:
Some documentaries grow in the shadows; others demand to be made. The story of boxer Mike Tyson, powerfully recounted in a new film, is as rich as a Dickens novel.
