Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
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.
90
Film Threat - Unnamed
Bell's documentary is an absolute must see for anyone taking part in any kind of debate about steroids.
90
Variety - Unnamed
More scrupulously reported than your average Michael Moore film but every bit as entertaining, Bigger, Stronger, Faster* is as commercial as documentaries come.
90
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano
Raucously funny and surprisingly insightful.
83
The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
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.
