This is, by any measure, a[n] engrossing hour - mixing history with sports as effortlessly and gracefully as Witt appeared on ice.

[Katarina Witt's] context is clear from the moment the film begins with elegant, beautifully crafted long shots of Karl Marx Stadt, the skating rink where Witt trained as a child and young champion with the legendary Jutta Müller.
