About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a raw sports biography that doesn’t shy away from addiction and consequences, similar to Oliver Sacks: His Own Life; Not for you if you dislike fight footage or prefer lighter, uplifting profiles.
Pros: raw, unvarnished portrait; lots of archival footage; candid interviews | Cons: heavy themes throughout; frequent violence shown; may feel unsympathetic
