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.

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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
