Shane is the exploration of the rise of one of the greatest cricket players the world has known, Shane Warne. From his early life as a young man barely interested in the game to superstar bowler, via the various controversies which shaped him as a player, a team mate, a father, a man.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

If he's not exactly introspective, nor does he seem in doubt of his feelings on any subject -- which is part of what makes him, on camera, an effective storyteller. Another part is unsurprising: he knows how to use his hands.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

Warne no doubt intended the film to shore up his bloody-good-bloke image, and in this he's got to be satisfied how it's turned out.

Rated: 3/5

ScreenHub

A celebration rather than an examination of Warne’s place in Australian culture, made for people who already like Warnie and want to like him more.

Rated: 3.5/5

Rahul Desai

Film Companion

Documentaries like Shane are a reminder that success is a personal language, not a public principle. It is the art of creating something that isn’t there: like riding a bicycle, barefoot, with a flat tire.

Adam Sweeting

The Arts Desk

Shane does a solid job of tracing Warne’s ascent to cricketing glory, with contributions from an array of friends, teammates and family members. Best of all, there’s plenty of input from the man himself.

Rated: 3/5

Sometimes fascinating, but ultimately a little too fawning.

What a story. Inspiring and heart wrenching, all the more so after his sad passing.

A classic and well-told story. This sets the stage for all future westerns and should be mandatory watching for everyone!

A true cricketing great, and a revealing biopic. Interviews with his family, colleagues and opponents were the most revealing…not sure Chris Martin or Ed Sherrran added so much, though of course they do illustrate the other side of Warne's superstar life and the side that covered as many front and inside newspaper inches as he did back pages. Hugely enjoyed this and would recommend.
