Critics' reviews

"What separates it from other one-subject sports documentaries is the director's ability to see Walton better than he can see himself"

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"Walton's life story is in great hands with director James, who has a rare touch for sports and the people who play them (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Nick Allen: rogerebert.com
"A fascinating portrait of someone often denied a place in the greatest-player conversation, but who does appear to be content with where life has led him"

Brian Lowry: CNN
"Mr. James is virtuosic at assembling and dispensing visual information and at conducting interviews that are briskly paced, illuminating and show the director’s depth of knowledge about the sport"

John Anderson: The Wall Street Journal
