A spate of documentaries produced by athletes and leagues are more interested in settling scores than in the game.

There’s little bravado, virtually no famous faces offering hagiographic praise. As authorised sports documentaries go, it’s like Curry himself: dedicated and persistent.

3/4

The film revels in showing up detractors, but not to a point where it’s obnoxious.

3/5

A lot of the footage is compelling, and it’s enjoyable to watch the way Curry rose from boy to man. But the film doesn’t go that deep—and leaves out a lot of compelling angles.

Underrated is a captivating and inspirational look at what it takes to be the best. You don't have to be a basketball fan to admire Stephen Curry's amazing journey.

B-

Stephen Curry: Underrated is a perfect family documentary for sports fans and anyone inspired by someone accomplishing their dreams. Just not as insightful as one could hope.

This was an inspiring documentary in part because it reflected the generous spirit of Curry himself. The narrative brings so many other folks along in the telling, in a sincere way: his parents, his coach, his teammates, his family. Explores a couple astonishing forks in the road with restraint and understatement. Stephen Curry is a hugely inspiring person and beloved by so many people because he embodies what love and support and hope and unflagging encouragement can become.

Greatest shooter in the galaxy. His name should have all the respect put on it. He'll always be greater than LeBron... And from what I'm reading he is looking to join a fourth superteam to chase another ring since he is way past his expiration and the EPO is running out. If Curry can somehow win a 5th title before LeFraud he'll go down as a top 5 player of all time.

Entertaining documentary on a great basketball player. If you're a fan of the player you'll most likely have a good time with this.

A great sports documentary that does a great job of telling the story of Steph Curry, except it's the story that you haven't probaly heard of. That is if you're not a diehard Steph fan, a stan if you will.

This is an amazing story of a player, who not quite pass as a standard player of NBA. This film is about how a man can develop himself with using what he has from physical stand point of view. And this is very interesting story.
