Leave your thoughts about Gleason.
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerOne of the most powerful, poignant documentaries of the past decade. |
| NOW TorontoRadheyan SimonpillaiThe videos are a way for Gleason to say everything he can to his baby boy before time runs out. That's enough to leave you a blubbering mess, but this doc, culled from home videos by director Clay Tweel, goes much further. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairOne of the most moving and flat-out heartbreaking documentaries ever made... |
| Reel ReviewsFrank WilkinsYou'll leave the theater a better person. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... a raw but inspirational tribute to fatherhood and perseverance that overflows with humanity. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn emotionally rich documentary about a former NFL star and his wife finding ways to live a rich life despite the debilitations caused by ALS. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriSo while Gleason is the slick, moving, sincere documentary you might expect from this material, there’s something else going on beneath the Oscar-friendly polish: This is a remarkably physical film. |
| Film Journal InternationalEdward DouglasA moving and inspirational story of strength and perseverance in the face of tremendous adversity. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternGleason is so powerful in its cumulative effect that it should be accompanied by a consumer advisory — something along the lines of “This documentary may cause sudden alterations of mood and attitude.” |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottThe deeply resonant Gleason isn't a football movie. Rather, it traffics in universal themes that effectively drill down to the very core of the human condition. As such, everybody has something to gain from what ends up being a multilayered mediation on life. |
