Gave you a bit more info about Ronda than is common knowledge, but basically, it tried to be a 'women can do anything' uplifter, and placed her in a much higher light than she deserves. It also has no coverage of her after her first loss, which is really what I would have found the most interesting. Probably worth skipping.

Should've Been Better

It's all about the interviewer.

Rhonda story is incredible to say the least. This particular documentary leaves a lot to be desired but not on her part. She was great in these interviews, open and relaxed. Her background adversity and her rise is unbelievable. Makers of the documentary left a little to be desired. Too much focus on everyone else and not her. Just my opinion
A moving story

It was interesting to follow the history of Ronda's fighting career and life story. The documentary has made me interested in woman's mma which Ronda had a key role in promoting. It would have been better if there was more footage and detail of the mma fights.
Cheaply made and totally spoiled by ego and vanity of the plonker making the doco

As a Rousey fan I was looking forward to seeing this as she has a truly amazing story behind her in terms of her upbringing, her Mum's achievements, her Dad's sickness and what she went on to become.
However for a lot of the documentary, I was wondering (in a very frustrated way) if it was a actually a Gary Stretch autobiography and they got the links mixed up in Netflix somehow.
I had never even heard of Gary Stretch. If the cheap and amateur editing and sound quality wasn't bad enough - we have to endure the ENDLESS cutaways (seriously - over and over and over again!!) to Stretch pouting and trying to look all intelligent for the camera. It is torturing for even the first 10 minutes let alone having to endure it the whole way through. For some unfathomable reason he includes a whole bunch of fight scenes of himself and interviewees repeating how great a fighter this guy is/was !?? WTF? - who cares about him - this is Ronda's story.

The Ronda Rousey story is so inspiring.

Great story, very poor delivery

Ronda Rousey has an inspiring story that is very interesting. The camera work, editing and directing was worse than a high school production. Please have a professional film crew remake this into the 10/10 documentary it should be.
Worth watching it

This documentary shows the real Ronda not Heel Ronda. Her fans knew all this time that heel Ronda was to sell ppvs and that's what made her what she is today I am so happy seeing her enjoy her life now just like she always wanted in her farm away from everyone in the middle of nowhere set for life. She deserves the best ! TEAM ROUSEY FOREVER
Emotional, super recommended

Director's ego ruins perfectly good story

I've never watched a documentary where the producer tried to insert him into the storyline more than this movie. Ronda's story is fantastic, but Stretch had the insistence to insert himself and his face at every juncture taking away from any momentum the documentary as the user has to continually ask "why am I seeing Gary Stretch's face...again". Add that to editing and sound mixing that sounds like a college grad was hired for extra credits and it makes this one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen.
Wasted opportunity

Amazing athlete, amateur documentary
jesseasido13 April 2020
Is this a documentary about Gary Stretch? Why was it neccessary to see Gary Stretch 50x during this documentary on RONDA ROUSEY. Why is he on the screen so much?
This was a disaster.
This is horrible for Ronda. She deserves are far greater documentary.
Horrible editing & audio. I've seen highschool projects better than this.
Great film about Ronda Rousey

I recommend this film about Ronda Rousey. I'm a huge UFC fan and I enjoyed the film immensely because it tied UFC, Judo, MMA, and Boxing all together. It also showed a lot about who she was and her path to becoming the champ in the UFC.
A waste of a great story
jergs-113 April 2020
Having trained with Gene and Gokor in the mid nineties and being a lifelong follower of MMA, it was beyond frustrating to watch this doc. The Rousey story is so rich with characters and history and the fact that this guy Stretch inserted himself into the story is disgusting . Atrocious interview set ups, bad audio , and ridiculous narration made this thing almost unwatchable. Just a shame that this amateur was given the reins and basically made a home movie.
