The American Gladiators Documentary 2023
HotDocs #11
This film starts with a homage to The Tree of Life and you think there's no way it lives up to the scale and poetic nature of that film, somehow it does. A real life story about the American dream that channels The Social Network, Stories We Tell, Epic Greek Odysseys, investigative crime, reality television, Elvis in ways that often supersede some of the best parts of those films and mediums. You have to see it to believe it.
I think easily the best film where I've attended the world premiere.
