Rising Phoenix Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's triumphalism all the way, with eyes on the prize and no thought given to the daily struggle many face just to stay alive.
Pop Culture Leftovers
Brooke Daugherty
This documentary was beautifully designed and directed. The 105 minute run time packs in more than expected while keeping the viewer interested.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
This is just an extraordinary documentary. It covers the history of the Paralympic Games, and it does so from a historical perspective and a very intimate profile of several athletes... These stories are so inspiring.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
This is profoundly inspiring... It is an extraordinary look at what makes us human.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Thoughtful Paralympic Games docu has strong language.
The Maine Edge
Allen Adams
[A] beautifully-crafted and powerful documentary, one that celebrates its subjects with the pure joy of sport. These people don't need labeling or qualification. They are athletes, full stop.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
These people make Stallone's Rocky look like an underachiever.
Decider
John Serba
A stylistically solid, thoroughly watchable overview of the Paralympic Games - and it certainly isn't short on uplifting stories.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Phoenix" is a testament to resiliency, determination and passion, and is one of the best documentaries of 2020.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
You will never watch the games in the same way.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
By avoiding complexity, "Rising Phoenix" preserves its inspiring mood, but offers only a platform for champions who already dominate the arena.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
It is all assembled with great skill by directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui and cinematographer Will Pugh.
The Establishing Shot
Jeff York
Marvel Studios and DC/WB may think they've cornered the market on superhero movies, but after watching the athletes in RISING PHOENIX, you'll realize just who are the genuine articles.
Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Fred Topel
You get to see the athletes in their glory, and the filmmakers really build up the suspense of each event. If you didn't follow the Paralympics and don't know the outcome, you'll really root for the athletes you've met along the way.
