Facing the end of a wildly successful but turbulent career, snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan is finally keeping the game at arms length. But over the course of a season leading to a career-defining tournament, and triggered by memories of the past, he finds himself spiralling back into the sport's intense grip. Produced by David Beckham's Studio 99 and directed by Sam Blair, Ronnie: The Edge of Everything is a thrilling documentary with unprecedented access to a true icon, as he grapples with his talent and his demons.

... An incredible piece of television. Here was a racking study of genuine pain, graft and sheer self-sacrifice.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The sum of it is that everyone would love to play like Ronnie O’Sullivan, but very few, on this evidence, would want to be him.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

O’Sullivan is brilliant company. He’s got the gift of the gab, a sense of humour and he’s relaxed with his vulnerability: talkative about his addictions and mental health struggles.

Rated: 3/5

Harry Guerin

RTÉ (Ireland)

As compelling an insight into genius, obsession, and mental health as you'll find in a film about a sporting icon or, indeed, any star.

Rated: 4.5/5

A fantastic insight into genius. It'd be impossible to watch this film and not come out rooting for Ronnie. His honest matches his talent and while he's been blessed with ability, he's been cursed with some horrible bad luck in life. the film captures it all perfectly

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Amazing documentary of inside the mind of a Tragic Genius hero. His personality carried the game of Snooker for 20+ years, and he still has some left in the tank. Eventhough he doesn't have the drive to chase a historical 8th world championship, I am rooting for this hero to achieve another goal in life, and that is to be happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
