Critic Reviews

From what we can tell, Brown was a dancer, all right, in life as well as on the field -- a dancer with a powerful forearm, one that Lee covers in protective padding.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

We never really learn what Lee thinks of this man, other than that he is worth every second of a 130-minute documentary.Full Review

Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

At its most provocative, the movie explores the masculine mystique and the myth of the black stud.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Though overall an overwhelmingly positive portrayal, the film doesn't ignore the more problematic aspects of Brown's life.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

A model of cohesion and clarity as long as it's dealing with Brown's exemplary public achievements. However, pic quickly becomes mired in tedium and confusion when it turns to Brown's scandal-ridden private life.Full Review
