| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarThe Perfect Shot might not be the perfect movie, but it's still a worthy profile of the defining Dallas sports star of this generation. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloInspiring docu on NBA star has some salty language. |
| RogerEbert.comDanny BowesThe unique working relationship between Dirk Nowitzki and Holger Geschwindner is itself of sufficient interest to make the entire thing worthwhile, and implies that Geschwindner would make a compelling protagonist of his own film. |
| Paste MagazineTom MeekFor such a rah-rah career-capping fist bump, The Perfect Shot offers enough surprises, insights and revelations to be more than just a Sports Center highlight reel. |
| User ReviewDebra WAn excellent movie about Dirk Nowitzki, my favorite basketball player on the Dallas Mavericks. This movie/documentary explores Dirk's transition from a boy playing basketball in Germany to a man playing in the NBA. Along side Dirk for the transition is Holger, Dirk's constant companion and coach. Holger is part genius, part eccentric. This is their story of developing "The Perfect Shot" through science, physics, and athleticism. |
| User ReviewMichael BI love Dirk and after watching this I feel like I understand him better than ever. I hope we can give him another run. |
| User ReviewRyan MNot a totally interesting documentary. But hey, it's the Dunking Deutschman! |
