Leave your thoughts about The Cage Fighter.
| VarietyDennis HarveyThough it may leave audiences with a fair number of questions unanswered, "The Cage Fighter" is engrossing and notably well-packaged within its limitations. |
| indieWireEric KohnThe movie works as a fascinating psychological dissection, and avoids any precise judgement of Carman’s habits. |
| NonficsJordan M. SmithBeautifully lensed and warmly characterized, it's essentially a nonfiction take on The Wrestler. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonAlthough the lines feel blurred between what's real and what's staged, this intriguing documentary doubles as a compelling blue-collar character study about a middle-aged man at a crossroads. |
| AwardsCircuit.comShane SlaterCarman may initially seem like an "average Joe," but both he and this thoughtful film contain multitudes. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyAlthough it's a documentary, The Cage Fighter teems with characters that are familiar from fictional tales. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersAt just 81 minutes, The Cage Fighter has been whittled down to its fighting weight, trimmed of every ounce of fat. Unay tells Carman's story without interviews or narration, but the film lands every punch without their help. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoOn the right foot not only in terms of its quality, but in being so efficient stylistically and narratively, it risks seeming a little too good to be true. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe Cage Fighter isn't sentimental about the notion of an aging sports hero who needs one more day in the proverbial sun, recognizing that desire as macho folly. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLacking narration or graphics, the documentary employs a fly-on-the-wall approach that proves frustrating. |
