Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- A delightful record of an incredible man....Revealing, wonderfully funny and honestly moving.
Empire
Rating: 3/5 --
The film has one piercing insight: when Ali was banned from boxing from 1967 to 1971, these were not wasted years.

Guardian
Retracing Muhammad Ali's vibrant life is an opportunity for audiences to reexamine American history, race relations, the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement and the sports world through the eyes of a perceptive black man.

Unless you have an insatiable appetite for goo-goo father-daughter talks, the recordings are tedious.
Philadelphia Inquirer
It would be hard to watch the movie and not take something from it.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
It doesn't break any new ground, not does it claim to, but it's likable and reasonably thorough.

If I Am Ali is one of the less impressive documentaries about Muhammad Ali, that's mainly because of the exceptional standard of many of the films already made.

Product Description:
Clare Lewis' documentary I AM ALI delves into the life of the celebrated champion boxer and galvanizing social figure who famously refused to enter the military when drafted for service during the Vietnam war, a decision that cost him his title. The filmmakers utilize a wealth of audio material recorded by Ali over the course of his life, and interview a number of fight game experts who help explain the importance of Ali to the sport.
