This film did a good job at portraying what went on in this situation. I found it very disturbing how they portrayed his mental state. I recommend while you watch this film you take into account the background music. As I watched it the background sounds helped the point of the scene come across very clearly.
This is an incredible documentary!
It contains actual footage and home videos from Dave Schultz's life.
The film serves as a great tribute to Dave, his family, friends and wrestlers.
I had the privilege of viewing it at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. When I got home, I watched it again. It is THAT good!

I have watched this documentary twice now, it is such a fascinating and thought provoking film. There is a great sense of sadness associated with this story and I still think about it now and keep recommending it to everyone that I can! This was a topic that I would not normally watch and this broke that barrier down, a totally unexpected and wonderful discovery.

Excellent piece from those who were actually there. No punches pulled, straight forward and truthful. I will never forget where I was when I heard Dave was murdered.
It was very difficult seeing this replayed but I feel it was the best of the three films on the subject. The movie Foxcatcher was well acted and the 30 for 30 Documentary was also well done, however I feel this was the better of the three.
Whenever I am at a wrestling event and I hear our national anthem, I always think of Dave on the podium in LA with the gold medal and his smile.

Seeing the film play out brought back memories of Bennet Miller's fantastic Foxcatcher. Although both have different leads, I think both also work to highlight many of the same recurring themes and plot points. This film only adds to the mystery and intrigue of the entire case and of Du Pont. It works to highlight certain scenarios and it also emphasizes the tragedy as something that was just inevitable, which is different to the more spontaneous character developments of Miller's film. The relationship between Du Pont and Schultz also seemed to be friendlier and at least more like one that had arisen due to friendship, as opposed to the one highlighted by Miller's film. This works as a great companion piece to that one, but it also stands on its own, it tells its own contained story.
