Quite enjoyable, but not essential for those who know Ali's story. Full Review

Director Robert S. Bader relies too heavily on interviews with biographers and casual observers (Juan Williams, Al Sharpton) to carry the narrative, but there's interesting show footage. Full Review

The film is too judgmental of Ali but nevertheless it is still very interesting Full Review

Ali & Cavett will more than likely be forgotten by many who view it, as Bader and Cavett do very little to try and brand what's already an incredible human interest story on the brains of audience members. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- It is almost impossible to make a bad documentary about legendary heavyweight boxing champ and standout human being Muhammad Ali. Full Review

Rating: C -- Bader's film is commendable in its thoroughness, but its failure to capitalize on Cavett's experience screams "missed opportunity." Full Review

Product Description:

Director/co-writer Robert S. Bader's documentary unpacks the political and cultural legacy of iconic heavyweight boxing champion and activist Muhammad Ali by focusing on his five decade-long friendship with TV talk show host Dick Cavett. It explores Ali's outspoken stance on racism and the Vietnam War, as well as his alliance with the Nation of Islam.
