Critics Consensus

Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable is far more risk-averse than its thrill-seeking subject, but still provides a reasonably inspiring introduction to her story.

Christy Lemire

FilmWeek (LAist)

It's a very straight-forward but inspiring story and what it worth seeing on the big screen is this gorgeous, immersive ocean imagery.

Globe and Mail

Other than keeping Hamilton's name out there and giving her brand exposure, Unstoppable stops short of making a compelling case for itself.

Rated: 2/4

Variety

"Unstoppable" starts as a tale of transcending tragedy, but it ends up where almost every other surfing documentary does, at that place where the majesty of surfing - the Zen of it, the deathly beauty of it - becomes all.

More inspiring than enlightening, the doc never gets into deep waters.
