    The athlete in a working mans sport

    An emotionally and inspiring show on probably the most down to earth GOAT (greatest of all time) snooker player of all time!

    I don't play, I'm not a dedicated fan, but from growing up with Ronnie on BBC and seeing the achievements and tournaments he won and loss, this is unreal.

    An entertaining show, providing his historical family backgrounds, showing his life issues and him being the most upfront honest guy you can imagine.

    Strongly recommend this for any snooker fan, any people with overall sporting interest and for anyone who has interest in world athletes but with a crazy spin on their life - he is the most down to earth every day GOAT athlete you will probably ever come accors..

    A great insight into the mind of one of the most naturally talented snooker players

    This for me is one of the best biographical documentaries I have ever seen. It gives an in depth insight into the mental toughness it takes to stay on top of "your game" in the pinnacle of sports, it delves into a "young Ronnie" growing up and the special bond he had with his father , he could quite easily have hung up his cue due to a family crisis involving his father, but the emotional turmoil he endured during this crisis acted as a catalyst and lit a fire inside him. The movie jumps back and forward in time leading up to Ronnie and his attempt at a record equaling 7th world championship. Ronnie Wood and Damien Hirst , close friends of "Ronnie O' Sullivan " give some great insights into his mindset. This documentary is an absolute must for any Snooker fan and proves that even celebrity cannot mask you from a mental health issue.

    The GOAT

    Now I have no doubt that Ronnie is a bit of a marmite personality, and I think the reviews strongly suggest that. I do however enjoy watching Ronnie, especially for his snooker as it is amazing and genius to watch. I feel the documentary showed us some brilliant info that I didn't know about Ronnie, I'm no super fan but I wasn't around for his younger years so was never aware of the situation with his dad, however the fact he can struggle away from the table I can now see even more clearly. I really was gripped at the start and towards the end in his 2022 final. However, there was a period in the middle of the documentary where I was tempted to pick up my phone as I found it was flickering around a lot of snooker eras and games without showing much of Ronnie behind the scenes. For the most part it was an interesting watch.

    Raw emotional pure talent!

    I may be biased as I am a huge Ronnie fan but also have a little insight having met him in Sheffield and experiencing first hand his personality and temper. This isn't a story about mental health nor gives an insight into the turmoil of sporting heroes etc, it's just a film completely devoted to what goes on in Ronnie's head on a daily basis.

    We've all wondered while watching him play, and act up before, during and after playing, and also heard the stories. But this confirms and explains everything about him from the horse's mouth.

    Great doc and a great insight into the life of my fav sports star.

    An insight into a tortured genius

    This documentary is a brilliant insight into the mind of a champion . I love Ronnie as a snooker player but he's had to battle personal torment and the press to succeed . Masterful documentary that feed like an asif kapadia masterpiece . Well done all involved . 7 heaven ! It'll be a rollercoaster ride of emotions with ups and downs and at times difficult viewing . What I love about this production is that it doesn't romanticise or sanitise professional sports and everything that comes with . Best insight into human nature I've seen in a sporting documentary for a helluva long time . Perhaps the greatest sportsman of all time outside of Donald bradman.

    • Trivia
      Director Sam Blair was careful to win over O'Sullivan's father and spent a year getting to know his mother, Maria, before proposing an interview. Even then, their conversations were held without cameras, and in the film his parents' voices play over the top of old home video and Polaroid pictures.
