Facing Nolan

2022

Documentary, Self: Nolan Ryan

Documentary In the world of Major League Baseball no one has created a mythology like Nolan Ryan. Told from the point of view of the hitters who faced him and the teammates who revered him, Facing Nolan is the definitive documentary of a Texas legend.

	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Leydon Variety	"Its lack of manufactured drama is one of the most engaging things about it, especially if you are a baseball fan who has ever marveled at the miracle that was, and is, Nolan Ryan."
		Jasmine Lane Austin Chronicle	"'Facing Nolan' paints its picture of a baseball great with broad strokes, but they cohere into a warmhearted image that baseball fans and their uninitiated families can enjoy together"
		Brandon Towns rogerebert.com	"A heartfelt documentary shows how even a sports god is still a man (...) 'Facing Nolan' is one of the most inspirational stories of the year (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"An unapologetically sincere biography (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"But while it may not be formally groundbreaking, this doc is still a treat for die-hard baseball fans, who should enjoy seeing footage from games ranging from the ’60s to the ’90s"
