Reviews

Newsweek -
An extraordinary documentary.
|
|
Variety -
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.

|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
No filmmaker I know has gotten as close to a professional athlete as James Toback gets to Mike Tyson in his new documentary.
|
|
Village Voice -
Tyson is more like a particularly riveting therapy session, with Tyson as both analyst and patient.
|
|
Empire -
Very humane portrait of a potentially extremely unlikeable character.
