Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times If you’re well-versed in the life and times of Willie Mays, this documentary will serve as an invaluable reminder of his greatness. Rated: 3/4 Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times He has long deserved a comprehensive bio-doc like this one. It’s something baseball fans will be watching long after the great man is gone. Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com It’s a gift for baseball fans who saw him play before he hung up that golden glove nearly 50 years ago, and maybe even more so, for those who didn’t. Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews For sports nostalgia junkies, this is a Giant high. Rated: B Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Say Hey, Willie Mays! is a laudatory, traditionally made documentary that doesn't reveal anything new. However, this well-edited movie has a notable lineup of interviewees, including the great Willie Mays himself, who tell very engaging stories. Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Aaron White Feelin' Film Podcast Seeing archival black and white game footage and interviews was wonderful, and walking through the successes and challenges of his life left me with a new respect for and understanding of a man many consider the best to ever play the sport. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
