Reviews


80
The Guardian - Catherine Shoard
It’s a fluid and nippy telling of a tale that still seems strangely urgent.
80
Time Out London - Dave Calhoun
The Program offers no obvious new revelations and Armstrong remains elusive – but it has an unsettling air that carries us through its more pedestrian patches.
80
Empire - Unnamed
The inside track on one of sport’s biggest scandals, nimbly shot and sharply scripted, powered by an outstanding performance from Ben Foster and the quiet integrity of Chris O’Dowd.
80
Total Film - Andrew Lowry
This fearless reconstruction drives home the dark lie that Lance Armstrong lived – it’s just a pity it doesn’t dig a little deeper.
60
CineVue - Unnamed
It must be said that Foster - who adhered to the actual doping program during filming - excels as Armstrong. Bearing an unnerving physical resemblance to the fallen cycling hero, he is a revelation in a remarkable tour de force - not France - performance.
