Awards & Rankings
-
Fuqua revels in narrating Ali’s 1967 bout with Ernie Terrell, the man who made the mistake of not respecting this name change. ... The first part of this gripping three-hour biography ends with the revenge-seeker’s comeuppance.
-
Weighing in at two hours, 40 minutes and airing in one sitting, HBO’s What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali, is as thrilling today as it was in his yesteryears. ... What’s My Name doesn’t delve into its subject’s personal life, focusing only on his career in the ring and his activism outside of it. That’s more than enough to easily fill its extended running time.
-
By stripping most of the standard documentary crutches from his version of the story, Fuqua lays it all bare, and the resulting portrait is vividly detailed even as it’s understandably incomplete.
