The real story behind the myth of American icon Robert 'Evel' Knievel and his legacy.
Leave your thoughts about Being Evel.
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyCultural identifiers don't come any bigger, meaner, or influential than Evel (nee Robert Craig) Knievel. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowKnievel's legacy, for better and worse, is more clearly tied to marketing and celebrity than to courage or integrity. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThis is very much a warts and all portrait, but in the process it brings us much closer to its subject, feeds a depth of appreciation many fans of those stunt shows will not have felt before. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn entertaining film that's both a revealing profile of the man and a thought-provoking reflection on his broader cultural significance. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenDirected by Daniel Junge and produced by stunt star and actor Johnny Knoxville, who also acts as a narrator and host (also a producer) this isn't just a documentary, it is a tribute, even though it doesn't shy away from showing Evel's dark side. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelJunge assembled some spectacularly dramatic and telling footage that evokes an era that is no so long ago, but feels so very far away. |
| Detroit NewsTom Long"Being Evel" treads a fine line, making it clear that its subject was a heroic symbol of his times and a clear sports innovator while also acknowledging - and there's no getting around this - that the guy was a huge jerk. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA warts-and-all documentary about the daredevil-hustler, that for all its inherent evil — and the guy was a real piece of work — is still a joyous, laugh-out-loud celebration of an outlandish, larger-than-life showman. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneAnders WrightMeticulously researched and interestingly presented, "Being Evel" works because just as it looks as though it might devolve into a sycophantic bit of hero worship, it changes gears and looks at the other side of the icon. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThere was a dark side to this complex man, and while it takes director Daniel Junge a while to get there, he does eventually in Being Evel, his entertaining and sometimes uncomfortable documentary about the daredevil. |
