      Natalia Winkelman New York Times Schmaltzy music and fuzzy pictures give a hard tug at the heartstrings, and footage of Perry missing shots on an empty court is frequently deployed as a superficial visual metaphor for hardship. Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The compact, cross-cultural documentary "Aulcie" is as open-hearted and quietly engaging as its title character... Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Ray Lobo Film Threat Perry's life was indeed extraordinary, however, the documentary falls a bit short compared to the man. Rated: 5/10 Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) If you can overlook the portrait's superficiality, this is a documentary that unspools quickly and keeps your attention.
