Odie Henderson RogerEbert.com It's like a thesis whose next draft would be destined for greatness. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 13, 2015 Full Review Eddie Cockrell Variety [A] clearly sincere but achingly cliched look at what's good and bad about the sport and the society that sanctions it. Mar 13, 2015 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times No one documentary could ever really encompass all that's fascinating and distressing about boxing as a kingmaking sport, a violent cultural phenomenal and a shady business. The slickly made "Champs" certainly tries, with varied success. Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Bill Arceneaux Neaux Reel Idea CHAMPS isn't satisfied with status quo fan-fiction that would've left every viewer with false feelings in their hearts - that, in this context, is an irresponsible copout. No, CHAMPS wants the big prize. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Julian Lytle Punch Drunk Critics Champs really exceeds at giving a good look at a more modern style of Boxing champion and his place in society and pop culture. Rated: 4/5 Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A few talking-head celebrities appear along the way, but nothing any of them have to say is as compelling as hearing the stories -- and seeing the vintage footage -- of the three raging bulls at the center of the film. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
