Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali Ratings & Reviews
Bloomberg News
Brin-Jonathan Butler
Clarke's Blood Brothers: Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali, on the other hand, devotes its attention to perhaps the most complicated chapter and relationship of Ali's life...
The Jacobin
Eileen Jones
When black-and-white photos of the pair grace the screen, it practically vibrates with energy.
IndieWire
Carlos Aguilar
"Blood Brothers" is worthwhile for the introspective investigation of lives so often, in the public eye, devoid of the tangled humanity that all interpersonal relationships carry.
Tilt Magazine
Stephen Silver
Doesn't have a ton to add to the established understanding of the story it's telling, but it assembles so much excellent footage that it's likely to appeal to even casual Ali buffs.
Decider
Jason Clinkscales
While you should also buy the book Blood Brothers (something this scribe will do himself), Marcus Clarke and his team make a strong effort in weaving together archival footage and insightful commentary from those who knew these iconic figures.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The documentary is a deeply personal experience, while also feeling a bit like it's only skimming the surface of what these two did and could have accomplished together.
Common Sense Media
Sabrina McFarland
Filmmaker Marcus A. Clarke provides a superbly-crafted study of the relationship between two of the world's most charismatic and controversial leaders in history.
AMovieGuy.com
Leo Brady
By the end the final true revelation of Blood Brothers is that Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali will always be connected and that brotherhood can never be broken.
Variety
Lisa Kennedy
The result is thought-provoking, resonant, often touching.

Sheila O'Malley
[An] informative and engaging documentary.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali's historically significant, tragically troubled friendship got superb fictional treatment lately in the hits One Night in Miami and The Godfather of Harlem, so it's a fine time for this thoughtful documentary.
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
A broad overview of an interesting, unexplored time that, while feeling a bit cursory at times, still manages to engage in a worthwhile and compelling discussion about these two historical figure's intertwined legacies with several decades of hindsight.
TheWrap
Ronda Racha Penrice
Powerfully illustrates the personal risks each man took in the service of freedom and equality for all Black people.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Just as soon as it picks up and becomes interesting, Blood Brothers falls apart again, leaning into familiar platitudes.
