Athlete A Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A measured if still-maddening look into the 2016 USA Gymnastics scandal...
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
It's a terrific journalism movie, but it's also a story of young women who persevered and found justice against the odds.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
Through even-handed reporting and a series of emotional first-person accounts, "Athlete A" excavates one of modern sports' most horrific abusers and systems.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
Directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk show us the story of the predatory monster, the brave survivors, and the heroic reporters of The Indianapolis Star. But they want us to see more.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
After "Athlete A," you may never again watch America's pursuit for gold with quite the same enthusiasm.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
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.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
This is one of the best documentaries you'll see this year.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
With a mere 103-minute running time, many viewers may find themselves wanting more.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
There are moments in Athlete A that will make you gasp at the brazen brutality of Nassar's crimes. Yet it never feels prurient or sensationalized.
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Though it focuses on one main perpetrator, the film adeptly juggles various moving parts, such as the ruthless nature of training and the aftermath of speaking out.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
[A] disturbing and illuminating documentary...
TheWrap
Steve Pond
[A] devastating indictment of the culture of mental and physical abuse that flourished for years at U.S. Gymnastics.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Athlete A mixes familiar archival footage with new testimonials in a conventional manner, all while differentiating itself from its non-fiction predecessor in fundamental ways...
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
...offers the perfect summing up of both the crimes of Larry Nasser, and of the overall toxic culture of American women's gymnastics.
Bustle
Casey Cipriani
Athlete A raises a lot of questions about the USAG's practices.
KSDK News (St. Louis)
Dan Buffa
Athlete A should help open a lot of minds.
Mashable
Brooke Bajgrowicz
Athlete A is a well-crafted glimpse into the sexism and abuse that women have faced in gymnastics. It's angering and disturbing, yet it is incredibly necessary.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
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.
Women's Voices for Change
Alexandra MacAaron
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.
