It Ain't Over Reviews

A wide-ranging portrait of the extradinary baseball player and coach, cultural icon, and family man.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 24, 2023

“It Ain’t Over” shows how Berra was a one-of-a-kind human being, on the diamond and off. As Yogi said once, “if you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him” — and when it comes to Yogi, nobody can.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 10, 2023

With the help of a slew of adoring talking heads, It Ain’t Over director Sean Mullin effortlessly validates his subject’s legendary career through the film's zeal to restore him to his proper place.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 6, 2023

See it. It will make you smarter. Or, as Yogi would say, “You can learn a lot by watching.”

| Original Score: A- | Jul 1, 2023

The filmmakers assembled an impressive roster of former players, managers, baseball writers and broadcasters to talk about Berra’s skills and his later influence as a coach and manager with both the Yankees and New York Mets.

Kind of a magical story, & how a guy with a love for a game made it on the right team at the right time, & contributed to the point of superstardom, but in a baseball era where that term didn't exist. To quote, “You can observe a lot just by watching.”

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 21, 2023

A hagiographic documentary on the all of Fame catcher who, according to director Sean Mullin, never sinned in his 90 years.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 17, 2023

It Ain't Over isn't just a must for Yankee fans, it's a must for all baseball fans. The chance to revisit one of the most iconic careers in the history of the game.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 17, 2023

Fans of America's favorite pastime will find director/writer Sean Mullin's doc to be a legitimate, fast-moving treat. Everyone else might call it eye-opening. Ater all, as wiseman Yogi apparently once said, "You can see a lot by watching."

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 16, 2023

Longtime baseball fans can revel in black-and-white archival footage showing Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra in his prime... The universe of non-fans can savor Berra as a pop-culture legend, thanks mainly to his trove of purported Yogi-isms.

| Jun 16, 2023

There is something intimate and, hence, emotional about such fond reminiscing of a simpler time. The film, through archival footage and earnest testimonial by his family and closest friends, fully embodies Berra's spirit.

| Jun 16, 2023

Friendly, inspiring, and fun to watch, the saddest thing about It Ain’t Over is that eventually ends.

| Jun 15, 2023

All in all, It Ain’t Over successfully recontextualizes Berra’s legacy beyond that of his Hanna-Barbera pantless cartoon bear counterpart, leaving us with the story of a loving husband, a devoted family man, and a world-class winner.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2023

An ode to the onetime joy of baseball, in all its innocence, its elegant simplicity and its sense of just plain fun – all of which was perfectly embodied in the slumped frame of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 12, 2023

“It Ain’t Over” is a must-see for baseball fans, but it will work well for non-fans who may be curious about the man who was a constant figure for decades in countless television commercials.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 9, 2023

The entertaining documentary “It Ain’t Over" brings the receipts and the scorecards to show that Yogi Berra wasn’t just a capital-C “character,” but one of the greatest ballplayers who ever played the game.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 9, 2023

He was a Yankee, sure, but as a likable guy, a great catcher, and a terrific clutch hitter, even Yankee haters gave him a pass.

| Jun 8, 2023

It Ain’t Over is a passionate documentary from a family who are clearly still very much missing their father.

| Jun 5, 2023

It Ain’t Over is a fine profile of an exemplary man, who may have been misunderstood, but is clearly beloved.

| May 31, 2023

Not merely a loving tribute, but a solid argument for setting aside common misconceptions about the man and recognizing how sorely he’s been underrated.

| Original Score: B+ | May 27, 2023
