Rating: 3/4 --
Almost all of the surfing footage is beautiful stuff, though you'll likely want to see even more.

Rating: 3/5 --
If it can't compete with the best surf documentaries, Bustin' Down The Door is never less than diverting - the thrill of conquered waves eclipsed only by the picture's educational value.

Rating: 3/5 --
Despite the group's many successes, self-pitying tears are rarely far from their eyes. It's fascinating stuff and unfathomably bleak.

Rating: 3/5 --
A subject worth exploring but, whilst old footage illustrates the storyline, this doesn't manage to strecth up until the present day.
Empire Magazine
Rating: 3/5 --
The documentary celebrates the athleticism and creativity of the sport's unsung Nureyevs and Nijinskys.
