Leave your thoughts about The Armstrong Lie.
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyBeautifully shot and edited, even after you know the horrible things Armstrong did to good people who only wanted the truth to come out, you can't help but realize how charming he is. I hated to see it end. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallIt's a meticulous examination of a particularly ruthless brand of power game-playing. |
| AspectRatio.usMatt Kelemen... had Armstrong never been accused of doping would Gibney's film still have its original title? |
| National PostDavid BerryGibney does a good job of relating [the] viciousness to Armstrong's powerful will to win - or at least his will to beat people. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonGibney took a film that was supposed to be about the resurrection of a sports star and turned it into an epic indictment of one man and an entire culture. The lesson is obvious: Never throw anything out. |
| We Got This CoveredDarren RueckerBy embracing contradictions and examining the making of a lie, The Armstrong Lie demonstrates how elusive the truth can be even when the facts are known about a widely recognized figure. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBruce IngramYou’d have to start looking into ancient Greek tragedy to top it as a showcase for pure, unadulterated hubris. That’s one of the things that makes The Armstrong Lie, which has more on its mind than the mere debunking of a tarnished hero, so worthwhile. |
| VarietyJustin ChangDirector Alex Gibney delivers not just a detailed, full-access account of his subject, in all his defiance, hubris and tentative self-reckoning, but also a layered inquiry into the culture of competitiveness, celebrity, moral relativism and hypocrisy that helped enable and sustain his deception. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonTo use a phrase from the film, The Armstrong Lie is a "myth-buster." It's wholly necessary, brilliantly executed, and a complete bummer. |
| Willamette WeekCurtis WoloschukFaced with an opponent desperately clinging to the last vestiges of his reputation, Gibney uncharacteristically fails to fully pull back the curtain. |
