      Audience Member This movie is a story well told. It's interesting, intriguing, funny, emotional, honest and moving. I live the way it's filmed, some of the settings are just gorgeous. Really, it's a must-see! Olympia proves to be an incredibly smart, bright, determined and very funny (hilarious) woman, worth admiring. And she's real, very true to herself and her origins ... thát's what this movie portraits so well. Really, you're going to love it and you're going to love Olympia, it's a must-see ... watch this movie!!! Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Flavio A Olympia is remarkable from beginning to end. Vivid, surprising and moving. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/21 Full Review Audience Member I was only vaguely familiar with Olympia Dukakis when I watched this, and I cried more than once! So, I imagine that proper fans will absolutely love it. Nicely put together, very naturalistic and flows easily. Although it clocks in at around 100 minutes, it left me wanting more. Gets you really invested Olympia, who's so down to Earth it's refreshing. I'd take Olympia over any self-congratulatory big studio production any day. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An entertaining and heartfelt documentary of a wonderful actress and woman! I was captivated by her life strength and her commitment to live an authentic life and be true to herself. I loved it and am recommending it to all of my friends! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant, empowering, authentic to the core documentary about Olympia Dukakis, a unique woman's footprint to finding her identity and leaving her mark on a celebrated life journey. I highly recommend it to every woman who is searching for her identity as a female, a lover, a professional, an activist and so much more. Men will also love watching it and through its narrative, distinguish what really constitutes the beauty of a women. I loved, loved, loved watching every minute of it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this movie. I never knew I was going to be as inspired by her story as I am by her work. Her authenticity is refreshing and so beautifully captured. Everyone needs to watch this film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times Without a more probing look into her artistry, it's hard to think of "Olympia" as a definitive Dukakis profile - though it's certainly an unusual celebrity documentary. Jul 15, 2020 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety "Olympia" for all its fondness, is just too cursory a portrait of a complex woman: depth presented as a series of glinting surfaces. Jul 10, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com It is a pleasure to spend time with Dukakis, who is always not just open to but hungry for revelation, growth, and connection, giving the documentary a deliciously buoyant quality. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 9, 2020 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Its a grandand often very funnytribute to an early, ally voice for LGBTQ equality, and to a performer as talented as she is intriguing. Rated: 3/4 Mar 13, 2022 Full Review Al Alexander The Patriot Ledger It's an all too conventional look at a highly unconventional woman. Rated: B- Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Jonathan W. Hickman The Newnan Times-Herald A must for fans of enduring actress Olympia Dukakis, Harry Mavromichalis' meandering but sincere and revealing documentary portrait gives viewers a peek behind the curtain.
