Movie Reviews

  • what holds the documentary back from greatness is what makes the games themselves great: the tension and heat of conflict, the anticipation and revelation of the final outcome
    3 of 5 by Raphael Abraham [Financial Times ]
  • the most legit superheroes can be found in Ian Bonhote's and Peter Ettedgui's inspiring, gorgeously shot documentary on the Paralympics; "Phoenix" is a testament to resiliency, determination and passion, and is one of the best documentaries of 2020
    4 of 4 by Randy Myers [The Mercury News ]
  • by avoiding complexity, "Rising Phoenix" preserves its inspiring mood, but offers only a platform for champions who already dominate the arena
    by Natalia Winkelman [New York Times ]
  • a stirring salute to the stars of the Paralympics; This affecting documentary celebrates the fortitude and determination of Paralympic athletes while offering glimpses of their moving backstories
    3 of 5 by Leslie Felperin [The Guardian ]
  • "Rising Phoenix" is bursting with a glossy visual style courtesy of director of photography Will Pugh, casting the athletes as gods whose speed, strength and finesse shatter preconceptions the world sometimes foists upon them
    by Kevin Crust [Los Angeles Times ]

    by John Serba [Decider ]
