About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like Senna or Amy-style archive-driven documentaries about fame and downfall through a larger-than-life sports icon; Not for you if you want a broad, fully explained overview or lots of fresh revelations.
Pros: archival footage-heavy storytelling; two-sided persona; engaging sports intensity | Cons: narrow time focus; emotional hit varies; some fans may find it familiar
