An emotionally and inspiring show on probably the most down to earth GOAT (greatest of all time) snooker player of all time!
I don't play, I'm not a dedicated fan, but from growing up with Ronnie on BBC and seeing the achievements and tournaments he won and loss, this is unreal.
An entertaining show, providing his historical family backgrounds, showing his life issues and him being the most upfront honest guy you can imagine.
Strongly recommend this for any snooker fan, any people with overall sporting interest and for anyone who has interest in world athletes but with a crazy spin on their life - he is the most down to earth every day GOAT athlete you will probably ever come accors..

The athlete in a working mans sport
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner
We all know Ronnie is a special breed. I used to dislike him, I thought he was arrogant, immature and obnoxious. But then I started watching him play and developed a respect for him as a sportsman. Only after that did discover enough about this tortured soul that changed my mind about him.
He is still the little boy who is looking for approval from his larger than life father. And thought that being successful was the key to happiness. He found out it wasn't.
This documentary captures his struggle perfectly. A man driven to find the horizon that is always moving away. It shines a light into his nature and those who orbit him.
It's entertaining, masterfully photographed and edited, with a beautiful score. A huge payoff in the finale too.
A great insight into the mind of one of the most naturally talented snooker players
This for me is one of the best biographical documentaries I have ever seen. It gives an in depth insight into the mental toughness it takes to stay on top of "your game" in the pinnacle of sports, it delves into a "young Ronnie" growing up and the special bond he had with his father , he could quite easily have hung up his cue due to a family crisis involving his father, but the emotional turmoil he endured during this crisis acted as a catalyst and lit a fire inside him. The movie jumps back and forward in time leading up to Ronnie and his attempt at a record equaling 7th world championship. Ronnie Wood and Damien Hirst , close friends of "Ronnie O' Sullivan " give some great insights into his mindset. This documentary is an absolute must for any Snooker fan and proves that even celebrity cannot mask you from a mental health issue.
