평가 및 리뷰

I enjoyed this doc. It's great to see that after all the pain and surgeries Ronnie still has his family. The only negative is that they completely glossed over his steroid use. To suggest that vodka and coffee only helped Ronnie to turn a career corner is suspect. I wish him the best. He truly is one of a kind.

I knew nothing about Bodybuilding before watching this and wasn't expecting much. But it was actually really good! Ronnie is definitely an interesting character - I thought he was a straight fool at first, but as the film went on I couldn't help but start seeing things his way. Very pleasantly surprised by this one!

This documentary is fierce. Gut wrenching and exciting and motivating and honest and all the things a doc needs to be. They really captured something special here. Def worth the watch.
