Reviews
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a portrait of a culture that claims to hate steroids but may, by now, be too pumped to do much about it.
|
|
Film Threat -
Bell's documentary is an absolute must see for anyone taking part in any kind of debate about steroids.
|
|
Variety -
More scrupulously reported than your average Michael Moore film but every bit as entertaining, Bigger, Stronger, Faster* is as commercial as documentaries come.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Raucously funny and surprisingly insightful.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Attempts to look beyond the hysteria and consider exactly how and why a culture that values physical power has internalized the idea that steroid use in sports is a scourge.
