Elway (2025) EDIT “It’s not breaking any new ground in sports documentary filmmaking, but Elway is a competent, smart look at one of the defining figures of his era in the NFL. It’s a good fill-in if Sunday’s games end up duds.” – Decider Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Shuffle (2025) EDIT “Okay, so The Super Bowl Shuffle isn’t the greatest NFL story ever told, but this is a fun little piece of football ephemera, and at 40 minutes, it’s the perfect length for filling in during those upcoming holiday lulls. ” – Decider Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Who Killed the Montreal Expos? (2025) 100% EDIT “Who Killed the Montreal Expos? is a proper elegy for a lost team, but more than that, it’s an encapsulation of what was lost as pro sports teams became billion-dollar businesses.” – Decider Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Surviving Ohio State (2025) 100% EDIT “Surviving Ohio State isn’t an easy film to watch, but it’s an important one, and it handles the task of investigating a difficult topic respectfully and thoroughly.” – Decider Jun 29, 2025 Full Review We Beat the Dream Team (2025) EDIT “If you can’t get enough of the Dream Team story, then there’s a lot to keep you satisfied here.” – Decider Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Turnaround (2024) EDIT “The Turnaround is an odd, unexpected little piece of sports joy, and one of the best ways a jaded sports fan could spend half an hour.” – Decider Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Here To Climb (2024) EDIT “Here to Climb is a solid, well-crafted documentary on a top climber, but it might struggle to hold the interest of non-climbers for a full 80 minute runtime.” – Decider Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Federer: Twelve Final Days (2024) 56% EDIT “If you’re a big Federer fan, Federer: Twelve Final Days is surely going to get you sentimental and maybe even entertain you, but it’s not going to give the long-awaited window into the man’s soul that you might’ve hoped for.” – Decider Jun 26, 2024 Full Review The Final: Attack on Wembley (2024) 100% EDIT “The Final: Attack on Wembley is a compelling portrait of how a day that could’ve been joyous turned ugly. It’s tight, well-paced, and really puts the viewer in the scene as it happened.” – Decider May 10, 2024 Full Review Giannis: The Marvelous Journey (2024) EDIT “Athlete biography documentaries often fall flat, but they don’t often have a story as compelling as that of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis: The Marvelous Journey does a great job of telling that story, and even non-basketball fans can appreciate it.” – Decider Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Race to the Summit (2023) EDIT “Race to the Summit offers plenty of thrills and a lot of pretty pictures to look at while you’re white-knuckling your armrests.” – Decider Nov 28, 2023 Full Review The League (2023) 96% EDIT “If you love baseball, you’re probably aching a little bit with the prospect of a long winter between us and spring training. The League is a great chance to scratch that itch while rounding out your knowledge of the national pastime.” – Decider Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Kelce (2023) 50% EDIT “Kelce is a nice, well-crafted documentary about a likable figure, but its appeal is probably limited to Eagles fans or truly hardcore NFL fans.” – Decider Sep 12, 2023 Full Review BS High (2023) 100% EDIT “The Bishop Sycamore story is one of the wildest sports stories in years, and BS High is a thoughtful and thorough dive into how it all went down.” – Decider Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Destination NBA: A G League Odyssey (2023) EDIT “Destination NBA: A G League Odyssey is a sharp, well-produced package of that drama that’s worth your time.” – Decider Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Dream (2023) 44% EDIT “Dream is a perfectly nice feel-good sports movie with some winning elements, but there’s not much to distinguish it from other similar entrants in the genre.” – Decider Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Stephen Curry: Underrated (2023) 85% EDIT “Curry is a remarkable player, and the film is a tightly-crafted, well-produced retelling of his impressive career; but it doth protest a bit too much at times.” – Decider Jul 25, 2023 Full Review That Peter Crouch Film (2023) EDIT “The documentary is well done, but unless you’re a hardcore fan of English football — or perhaps a parent of an awkwardly-tall child who needs inspiration — there’s probably not enough here to draw your interest.” – Decider Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Unfinished Business (2022) 90% EDIT “Unfinished Business is a solid piece of filmmaking, and it’ll be great to see more films and shows covering the WNBA in the future, but it’s held back by a desire to tell multiple stories in harmony.” – Decider Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Fate of a Sport (2022) EDIT “Fate of a Sport is a smart, capably-crafted documentary that tells its story well, but–much like Rabil found–if you’re not already a lacrosse fan, it’s probably not going to hold much interest for you.” – Decider Jan 31, 2023 Full Review The Fastest Woman on Earth (2022) EDIT “... Even if you don’t know a thing about the world of high-speed racing, the film sucks you in, offering a presentation that walks the tightrope–it’s neither inscrutably insider nor patronizingly broad. ” – Decider Nov 3, 2022 Full Review NYC Point Gods (2021) EDIT “For anyone who loves basketball, NYC Point Gods is a wonderfully entertaining look at one of the sport’s most exciting eras.” – Decider Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Untold: The Race of the Century (2022) EDIT “Even if you don't know the first thing about yacht racing, Race of the Century is a fascinating story with a thrilling competition at its core.” – Decider Sep 8, 2022 Full Review McEnroe (2022) 93% EDIT “A solid, well-constructed piece of biographical documentary, but ultimately it’s probably not going to change your opinion of the man too much. ” – Decider Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Terry Bradshaw: Going Deep (2022) EDIT ““Terry Bradshaw’s variety show” might not sound like the most appealing sales pitch, but Terry Bradshaw: Going Deep turns the athlete bio-doc genre–one that’s been dying for something different–on its head in a surprisingly effective way.” – Decider Feb 8, 2022 Full Review
