"The film is an examination of the pursuit of greatness.  It is a grueling and demanding endeavor, for sure, but also a source of unending joy"

​

A.O. SCOTT, NEW YORK TIMES

"If you think you're having a rough day and can't escape whatever hole life has dug for you, Kauflin's worldview should give you a little perspective... His ringtone is 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' for God's sake"
