Scout Tafoya RogerEbert.com Václav Neuzil plays Zátopek and it’s the kind of obviously impressive performance awards bodies love, but that makes it sound more obvious than it is. Dec 23, 2022 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety David Ondříček's handsomely crafted Karlovy Vary opener depicts Emil Zátopek's various athletic triumphs, but finds its heart in quieter domestic exchanges. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily His story is left hanging untended and finally buried in Frecheville’s lifeless performance. Issova has plenty of bounce, but even her character is reduced to a few broad strokes. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa With a light-entertainment tone, a classical filmmaking style and impressive recreations of Olympic stadia, it aspires to be a Czech Chariots of Fire, but like so many of the runners on show, it can't quite make it to the finish line.
