Review of Sly

Sly (2023)
5/10
Not as complete as it could have been
5 November 2023
A good introduction to the life of Sylvester Stallone, and a good companion piece to the earlier documentary released on Netflix about Arnold Schwarzenegger entitled Arnold, this suffers from a lack of acknowledgment of significant controversies in Stalone's career, most notably several sexual assault accusations. One can have problems with how Schwarzenegger addressed his controversies, he addressed them. Stallone seems more interested in building the narrative of a sensitive boy who was tormented by his father. Of course, that is probably true, it does not absolve one from responsibility for one's own actions. An interesting watch, but a bit incomplete.
