Mr Calzaghe is the antidote to the Rocky-style comeback trajectory of every boxing movie.

A solid, occasionally stirring, treatment of its subject.

Empire Magazine

The fight footage is belting, but it's the unique, deep father-son connection that really makes the heart pound.

Radio Times

Slickly made though thoroughly non-critical, Mr Calzaghe should appeal to fans of the Italian Dragon even if it is a bit light on its feet.

Joe Calzaghe was the pride of Wales, an undefeated super-middleweight boxing champion. This amiable documentary takes a look at his career. Not the most imaginative of documentaries, the fight sequences are compelling though the endless parade of talking heads get a bit wearisome. What does come across well is the warmheartedness of the film's subject, particularly in relation to his sons and father.
