Felt as good as the Drive to Survive series but about Schumacher. Really enjoyed it and it's a shame that such a tragic event happened to such a great person.

Documentário sobre um dos maiores pilotos do mundo, sou apaixonada por fórmula 1 desde 92, felizmente tiver sorte de assistir a grandes pilotos como Senna, Prost, Schumacher, mas te vejo em felicidade de torcer para Alan ao invés para Ayrton, uma infantilidade doentia que hoje eu compreendo e reprovo... Gostoso ver a determinação dessa excelente profissional, desde a infância, quando tirava água de pedra, utilizando-se de carros mais simples por falta de verba… Emocionante #Chorei...

This was a chronological record of his life and greatest achievements and enjoyable to watch. But it was woefully short on interesting details, it came across as a fully sanitised version for his family to remember the good times by. I watched this to get an understanding of what happened to him in the accident and beyond, yet the film completely glossed over this. I learned more from a google search than the film on his life, disappointing.

Sydney Morning Herald

This comprehensive and kinetic biography of Formula One great Michael Schumacher is an impressive piece of work, but the man himself remains a contradiction.

Guardian

The film is a collaboration with the Schumachers and massively benefits from their archive of photos and home movies. The downside is that it has the blandness of authorised biography.

Rated: 3/5

A mostly hagiographic look at an undeniably dazzling career.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The documentary doesn’t shy away from Schumacher’s accident, which is treated sensitively and with respect. The inclusion and approval of his family adds a whole different level to the film, filling it with warmth and love.

Rated: 9/10

Ready Steady Cut

Schumacher is a revealing, yet incomplete documentary of a Formula 1 legend.

Rated: 3.5/5

Australian Financial Review

Schumacher's erratic behaviour testifies to the extreme pressure under which drivers operate, but in his case the most intense pressures were self-generated.
