To me, honesty like that is what heroes are made of.

Reviews for Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
[A] charming and eye-opening film.
06/20/08
Unexpectedly funny [and] sometimes angry.

An interesting and eye-opening journey.

But in the end I think Bell is not so much pro-steroids but rather eager to open up a debate about the drug. He doesn't pretend to have answers but he's full of questions.
06/14/08
Smart, touching and enlightening, a combination that makes Bigger, Stronger, Faster the best documentary of the year so far.
06/13/08
By making this journey personal, a powerful vulnerability permeates the film.

...if anyone wants to have a serious discussion about the entire supplement situation, this excellent film is a good place to start.

"It's hard to dislike any movie that begins with footage of Hulk Hogan defeating the Iron Sheik in 1984, although knowing how closely Vince McMahon guards the WWE's tape library, I don't know how Bell got permission to use the footage in the film."

It'll shake up your beliefs not just about steroids but about competition, hypocrisy, body obsession and American notions of masculinity.

Top CriticBigger, Stronger, Faster* tackles the steroids debate in ways audiences won't see coming.
06/08/08
It transcends its subject matter to ask provocative, disturbing questions.
06/06/08
Bell posits that their disillusionment is a side effect of being American and he may well be right.
06/06/08
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* is that rare film that truly challenges its audience.
06/06/08
A hugely entertaining personal documentary about what steroids mean to American pop culture.
06/06/08
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* may prove to be more than just a good time at the movies; it could be another Super Size Me … only bigger. Muscle, after all, weighs more than fat.
06/06/08
This movie is remarkable in that it seems to be interested only in facts.
06/06/08
Top CriticSubverts expectations by being not only complex but surprisingly engaging even as it raises serious questions.
06/06/08
In arguing that drugs are the symptom, not the cause, Bell raises the steroid debate to a whole new level.
06/06/08
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* should be a documentary that Michael Moore watches so that he can learn how to tell both sides of an argument.
