Gavin Fitzgerald's documentary moves almost as fast as its subject. It's a tightly edited masterclass in visceral storytelling; eschewing voice over and heavy handed editorializing, Notorious shows how the Dublin lad become a superstar through work, willpower and wit. McGregor's sins - that the sport he dominates is violent, that he talks loud - remain unforgivable to some, but Notorious wastes no time with begrudgers. It's too busy telling a story with as much drama as a cage fight. Check it out, fight fans.

Visceral storytelling
Brilliantly Entertaining
A slow starter of a film I was pleasantly surprised as I've found the sports documentary sub genre (if you will) to be very hitor miss to say the least, however this was special. Precise and straight to its point the craftsmanship on show is on an entirely different level and the story is a special one too. Full of interesting and layered "characters" that are merely carrying out daily business the outcome was amazing and compelling. One that feels timeless I highly recommend you view it at least once, and fingers crossed there's a follow up in years to come to round off an outstanding career
