Humbling, vulnerable, tragic, and sometimes funny...

| Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2024

In one memorable scene, Blair says that she wants the documentary to be as dramatic as she is. It's a testament to her tenacious spirit and willingness to work with director Rachel Fleit that she (mostly) gets her wish.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 17, 2022

The movie is an effective empathy machine, placing us in any given moment directly in Blair’s headspace.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 8, 2022

From a very human perspective, it allows us to understand who Selma Blair is and learn about the physical and psychological ravages of MS. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 28, 2021

Like Val Kilmer in "Val," [Selma Blair] puts all vanity aside and lets the world see the suffering, indomitable person she has become.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 2, 2021

For the actress who comes out the other side wiser, more grateful, and centered, it's as powerful as documentary filmmaking can get.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 25, 2021

An excellent and honest reflection of what it is to be a person as special as Blair.

| Oct 15, 2021

It's an intense experience, one whose focus is undeniably stirring but which leaves certain aspects of Blair's life and resume somewhat underdeveloped.

| Oct 15, 2021

It's impossible to watch Introducing, Selma Blair and not feel deeply moved.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2021

The footage is raw and honest but not gratuitous, a combination of Blair's voiceover, her confessional interviews and the camera capturing her in natural moments.

| Original Score: 9.0/10 | Oct 14, 2021

The greatest asset of the film is its ability to simulate the intimacy of disclosure, and Blair's comfort with the camera - her actress-y will to entertain - makes her a uniquely endearing subject.

| Oct 14, 2021

[It] doesn't entirely know how to bring its intimate portrait to what we typically think of as a satisfying close. But there's even a kind of honesty in that, too.

| Oct 14, 2021

Really gives you some idea how dealing with something like MS can really be debilitating, even for someone as young and vibrant as Blair continues to be.

| Oct 14, 2021

Blair emerges a figure of strength and vulnerability, of honesty and openness.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 13, 2021

This film is not an easy watch. [But] Blair uses comedy to diffuse her own discomfort as much as those experiencing her struggles.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 12, 2021

I would much rather have seen Blair acting, and only acting, these struggles in a good movie than enduring them for real. So would she have, I'd wager, but here we are.

| Original Score: A | Oct 5, 2021

Introducing, Selma Blair rips the Band-Aid off society's view of chronic illness with a raw portrayal of her medical diagnosis that is authenticated in its emotional and physical intensity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 11, 2021

Selma Blair is fearless during the biggest race for adversity of her life. She takes the veil off the good, bad and ugly truth that encapsulates MS, stem cell treatment without apology. Her candor and bravery are awe-inspiring

| Apr 4, 2021

Introducing, Selma Blair not only shows us the unfiltered reality of dealing with a disease like MS, but it constantly reminds us of Selma Blair's own willingness to let us see everything.

| Apr 3, 2021

[Blair is] not inspiring because she weathers her disability with a smile. Instead, she's honest, open and never shies away from saying how she's feeling.

| Original Score: B | Mar 30, 2021
