Like a lot of recent documentaries about the overdue reckoning for sexual predators in positions of power, "Athlete A" is a reminder that the rot is sometimes within the system itself, not just within the criminals it benefits. July 13, 2020 | Full Review…

What's striking about the film's tone is its redemptive warmth. Though the details are chilling, it's as if a cathartic space has been opened for these girls and their families to explain what they went through. June 29, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

There's a lot here, but "Athlete A" handles its material lithely, moving smoothly between Nassar's survivors, the journalists who broke the story and the big picture of gold medals, Summer Games and national pride. June 27, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Above all, though, it makes you wonder about men and power - does it corrupt, or do the corrupt seek it for further gratification of their desires? And why are they so willing to protect each other, however high the toll of misery paid by their victims. June 26, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

After "Athlete A," you may never again watch America's pursuit for gold with quite the same enthusiasm. June 25, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Athlete A certainly has good intentions to put the spotlight on the serious issue of abuse, as it pertains to American female gymnasts ... The documentary's interviews are compelling, but ... lack original investigative reporting and crucial details. July 23, 2020 | Full Review…

Cohen and Shenk allow victims an opportunity to share their harrowing stories. They shine a light on a cruel, manipulative system that created a toxic environment in which young victims were so accustomed to abuse they doubted their own experiences. July 14, 2020 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…
