Reviews

Newsweek - Unnamed
An extraordinary documentary.
90
Variety - Todd McCarthy
By getting Tyson to open up as he has, Toback has succeeded in illuminating one of the most polarizing, complex and -- the film almost forces one to admit -- misunderstood figures of our time.
90
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
No filmmaker I know has gotten as close to a professional athlete as James Toback gets to Mike Tyson in his new documentary.
90
Village Voice - Unnamed
Tyson is more like a particularly riveting therapy session, with Tyson as both analyst and patient.
80
Empire - Damon Wise
Very humane portrait of a potentially extremely unlikeable character.
