Nothing in the film absolves Lance Armstrong of blame, but nothing condemns him to life as a pariah, either.

| Feb 8, 2021

Any concern that Lance will be a four-hour apology tour designed to elicit sympathy for its disgraced subject is quickly squashed by its opening minutes.

An outstanding documentary by Marina Zenovich.

It does a good job of painting Armstrong as a complete narcissist who both is and isn't to blame for his situation

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 25, 2020

a fine film even though it goes extremely easy on Lance, considering how selfish and devious he really was (is?) and all the people whose reputations he tried to eviscerate.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 25, 2020

Lance Armstrong was a champion of epic proportions and not without his faults. With the success of The Last Dance, ESPN just keeps the hits coming with a no holds barred documentation of Armstrong's life and career pre and post Tour de France

By the time you finish watching Lance, you may still come away from it hating the man, but you will most likely come away from it thinking that he and his legacy are far more complex that you might have thought going in.

Lance allows a deeper understanding of this very complex public figure.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 29, 2020

Every word he says in the documentary feels either lawyered to death or endlessly rehearsed over countless solitary bike rides.

Anyone interested enough in Armstrong to watch three hours of "Lance" will be entertained and informed, perhaps they'll even form fresh opinions on the figure, but he's still just a guy.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 28, 2020

It's a work with a precise moral compass about a person who comes to seem as though he lacks one entirely - and a work that, most strikingly of all, seeks to understand rather than condemn him.
