Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut It doesn’t last long, but Netflix’s short documentary is a powerful, feminine look at female sumo wrestling. Rated: 4/5 Nov 9, 2024 Full Review Brenden Gallagher The Daily Dot The perfect documentary short leaves you simultaneously wishing for more and appreciating the brevity of what has been placed in front of you. Such is the case with Netflix's Little Miss Sumo. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Excelente cortometraje, me emocioné con Hiyori! espero Japón pueda reconocer el esfuerzo de las mujeres luchadoras de sumo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I was so pleasantly surprised. Kon Hiyori is so full of passion and I hope that the pro sports world will accept her and people like her. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I was expecting it to be more riveting. Still, it's a bit interesting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This was inspiring but 18 minutes is not enough. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cinematography and an inspiring story, she is a true athlete and deserves to be treated as such. I used to think I wanted to see a traditional Sumo match in Japan but now I think I'd rather watch the women's sumo! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
