Murderball is a paradox: a movie about quadriplegics that insists we look beyond their disability.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

This is one of those rare docs, like "Hoop Dreams," where life provides a better ending than the filmmakers could have hoped for. Also like "Hoop Dreams," it's not really a sports film; it's a film that uses sport as a way to see into lives, hopes and fears.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Murderball brilliantly captures the intensity of the little-known athletic competition, offering more intimacy and drama than most Hollywood sports movies.Full Review
