Leave your thoughts about Generation Iron.
| Village VoiceErnest HardyYudin pulls lovely philosophical grace notes from his subjects as they illuminate some universal truths from their very specific world. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... we are left to consider natural gifts versus applied science, and ponder why we usually credit the former more than the latter. Like all good stories, this movie about bodybuilding is really about much more. |
| Flicks.co.nzAaron YapSuffers from a reality TV-ish veneer in its decided lack of depth. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferSuspenseful, well-edited and adequately illuminating without being too heavy or dry |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithYudin gets into the psyches of his subjects. Their ups and downs, highs and lows. The need to do well in competitions not only for personal glory but for the sponsorships that feed their families and keep them in the gym. |
| Washington PostSean O'Connell“Iron” opens a window to an exclusive club and gives valuable insight into a small, dedicated and proudly unique community. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary Goldstein[A] compelling and energetic documentary. |

It’s their honesty that looms large. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThose with just a casual interest will find it colorful if a bit undercooked in the human-interest department, with limited insight into what makes its subjects tick, and the occasional rivalries between them. |
