Andre the Giant Reviews
AV Club
Noel Murray
It's primarily a celebration of a one-of-a-kind talent, intended to put him back into his proper context.
indieWire
Steve Greene
Pro wrestling is an entire industry built around an illusion, and it's something that Andre the Giant often nods at, but often seems to brush aside in favor of focusing on the deep resonance it has with its fans.
Hollywood Reporter
Dan Fienberg
Perhaps predictably, it leans still too heavily on the myth at the expense of the real man. But it's still incredibly entertaining, if not always as insightful as one might crave.
The Daily Dot
Josh Katzowitz
It'll make you miss the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Mostly, we have a fuller understanding of why Andre's 46 years on this planet had such a lasting effect on so many people.
AwardsCircuit.com
Alan French
Hehir's use of pop music and symphonic scores in the film is extremely strong. There are perfectly timed cues throughout the picture that help transition us through storylines
Thrillist
Christopher Campbell
Even if you're not a wrestling fan, you can appreciate a documentary about Andre the Giant...This is a standard but adoring portrait with a good deal of history.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Andre the Giant -- warm, nostalgic and yes, concise -- feels just right.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
HBO's heartfelt look at the life and times of Andre the Giant, and how he presided as the industry's biggest draw during a very stark period of swell and transition, was captivating and cool.
The Daily Times (Tennessee)
Amanda Greever
Andre the Giant is a fantastic documentary.
Black Nerd Problems
Omar Holmon
We're literally seeing a legend in the making with Andre the Giant's humble beginnings.
rogercatlin.com
Roger Catlin
Mostly we marvel at him the same way we would by paying 50 cents at the side show.
National Review
Kyle Smith
Director Jason Hehir finds the humanity in this superficially bestial figure.
Decider
Josh Sorokach
Even when reality is stranger than fiction, the clarion call of fantasy is too enticing to ignore.
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
Josh Shaffer
The documentary, directed by Jason Hehir, makes a tear-jerking case for Andre the Giant struggling with alienation in the world's spotlight.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Andre the Giant" can't get its hands around the subject matter, but what it does accomplish is a rich understanding of Roussimoff's temperament, loneliness, and megafame as a WWF titan.
The Maine Edge
Allen Adams
[Andre the Giant] is thoughtful, concise and well-made, a compelling piece of filmmaking that shines a light on a man the likes of whom we'll almost certainly never see again.
KSDK News (St. Louis)
Dan Buffa
When you see something both miraculous and terrifying, often the words "something else" come out. Andre The Giant was something else, but he was also so much more.
Uproxx
Brandon Stroud
Andre the Giant is certainly a recommendation, but watch it like you're hearing the story from Hulk Hogan. Because for the most part, you are.
