Endurance Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Todd McCarthy
More analytically inclined will be suspicious of the degree of contrivance involved and the stylistic idealization of Third World poverty.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Interesting on many levels, but doesn't quite show the passion of the human body like Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia or the thrill of the race like the recent Children of Heaven.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
I found the film engrossing, missing only the opportunity to spend more time with the mechanics of distance training and, perhaps through that, to learn how Gebrselassie became the world's best at what he does.

I've seen Olympic TV profile segments that probe deeper than Endurance.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A very special sports drama about the drive, determination and grace of an African athlete who is a hero to young black boys around the world
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
The Olympics sequences are almost completely devoid of drama, and the script never quite makes it clear exactly why he's regarded as being such a special athlete.
Movieline
Stephen Farber
It has neither the compelling authenticity of cinema verite nor the dramatic punch of artful fiction.

We leave the film having learned very little, other than that this exceptional long distance runner is certainly quite an athlete.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
He didn't come from a background of training, coaching and determination, but from the rural hills, where we see him running to school, running to the water well, running to the fields, always with that stoic thrumming of his breath.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Its mixture of biographical hype and social studies quickly curdles.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
A solid dramatized biography of Gebrselassie, and much of it features the somewhat introspective runner with a sunny smile.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
It's not suspense the film is after. It's something simultaneously more deliberate and more confounding.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The film leaves so many questions not only unanswered but unasked. Why does Gebrselassie run? What was it like for him to disobey his father and leave home to pursue his dream?
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
If there were a cinematic dullness scale, this movie would reside just one notch ahead of the rating for a blank screen.
