I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

This thoughtful documentary about Arthur Ashe, the first African American man to win Wimbledon in 1975, understands that representation is only one step towards equality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 12, 2021

Ultimately, if Miller and Pollard don't paint a particularly warts-and-all portrait of Ashe, they don't set him up as some sort of saint either: just a certain man of a certain era with an amazing talent. It's a fitting tribute.

This is a decent film.

Fans of tennis and fascinating American lives will be equally satisfied.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2021

There's much to like about "Citizen Ashe," which at times seems ready (understandably) to succumb to full-fledged hagiography.

This is a fitting tribute to a humble pioneer, chronicling his importance during his era and his lasting legacy in ours.

As elegant and as agile as the tennis great it profiles.

It's a compelling life story of a man who refused to be bullied, eschewing use of his early celebrity as a tool in the thick of the civil rights struggle, only to eventually become a leader in the fight for racial justice and equality.

| Original Score: A | Sep 14, 2021

Citizen Ashe honors a man who went through something of a learning curve while undergoing more than his share of triumph as well as tragedy.

Less a tennis documentary than about the evolution of a tennis star, a Black American who figured out how to engage with the world beyond established rules and white lines both literal and figurative.
