Citizen Ashe Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Common Sense Media
Jordan Elizabeth
Citizen Ashe is informative and inspiring, albeit sometimes slow-moving.
AMovieGuy.com
Leo Brady
Yes, Arthur Ashe was a wonderful person and a great tennis player, but he was also something to strive for. He was a model Citizen.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Ultimately, if Miller and Pollard don't paint a particularly warts-and-all portrait of Ashe, they don't set him up as some sort of saint either: just a certain man of a certain era with an amazing talent. It's a fitting tribute.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A fascinating portrait of a complex character.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Fans of tennis and fascinating American lives will be equally satisfied.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Providing a timely glimpse into the life and legacy of trailblazing tennis star Arthur Ashe, this straightforward documentary should connect with more than just sports fans.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
Citizen Ashe settles for the simple conclusion that he was a great man. It's not wrong.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
There's much to like about "Citizen Ashe," which at times seems ready (understandably) to succumb to full-fledged hagiography.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A well-edited, inspirational glimpse of Arthur Ashe as a humanitarian activist, a talented, groundbreaking tennis player and a compassionate human being.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
a thoroughly engrossing documentary
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Miller and Pollard mix and match their archival footage and present-day interviews to produce a poignant, entertaining tale about a vital 20th-century figure.
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
A standard biopic, elevated by the subject's magnetism and humanity.
The Establishing Shot
Jeff York
There is gravitas in every minute...The film also goes a long way to restore Ashe to the conversation. He was a great athlete and citizen of the world, on and off the court, and every generation should be reminded of that.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
As elegant and as agile as the tennis great it profiles.
Collider
Matt Goldberg
It feels a bit superficial and doesn't build outwards or inwards to look at the complexities of the time or the complexities of the individual.
The Playlist
Murtada Elfadl
It follows Ashe's lead of cool, calm and collected. Yet sometimes it needed more oomph to reflect what Ashe was concerned about; racism and equity.
IndieWire
Tambay Obenson
It's a compelling life story of a man who refused to be bullied, eschewing use of his early celebrity as a tool in the thick of the civil rights struggle, only to eventually become a leader in the fight for racial justice and equality.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Citizen Ashe honors a man who went through something of a learning curve while undergoing more than his share of triumph as well as tragedy.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Less a tennis documentary than about the evolution of a tennis star, a Black American who figured out how to engage with the world beyond established rules and white lines both literal and figurative.
