In the hopes of exploring American culture's increased obsession with winning, documentary filmmaker Christopher Bell examines the anabolic steroid use of his two brothers. After setting the stage with a look at the cultural backdrop of the 1980s -- in which hulky stars like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were the ideal -- Bell illustrates how he and his brothers became involved in the bodybuilding subculture, eventually discovering the brutal truth that success in the lifestyle of pumping iron demanded the use of steroids. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

New Review For Movie Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
A thoughtful, informative and thoroughly entertaining examination of the role of performance-enhancing drugs in modern life.Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic
A lively and incisive look into the nation's growing preoccupation with pumped-up superlatives.
Michael Rechtshaffen-Hollywood Reporter
Unexpectedly funny [and] sometimes angry.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
Smart, touching and enlightening, a combination that makes Bigger, Stronger, Faster the best documentary of the year so far.
Tom Long-Detroit News
By making this journey personal, a powerful vulnerability permeates the film.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
It'll shake up your beliefs not just about steroids but about competition, hypocrisy, body obsession and American notions of masculinity.
David Ansen-Newsweek
Their mistakes are our entertainment.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
A dangerous side effect of being a 'true' American.
Don Groves-sbs.com.au
It raises big, intriguing questions that rarely, if ever, come up in the hubbub about steroid use in professional athletics, particularly Major League Baseball.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Chris Bell's very personal documentary, tracking how steroid use influenced his body building family's game, health and interpersonal relationships, is neither an apology nor a hard-lined expose about doping.
Jennifer Merin-About.com
If steroids were outlawed, only outlaws would have steroids
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
This is one of the best documentary films of 2008, along with 'Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.'
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Though somewhat repetitive and clunky, Chris Bell's Bigger Stronger Faster deserves credit for presenting a fairly evenhanded examination of steroids & their threat to the integrity of the country's sports industry.
Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt
A matter-of-fact funny and clever in-depth look at steroid use in modern-day America.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A wide-ranging look at the use of performance-enhancing drugs in America
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl
Pessoal como Moore (incluindo um momento Roger and Me com Schwarzenegger) e auto-referencial como Spurlock (mas mais honesto), Bell cria um filme que levanta questões realmente relevantes sobre a caça às bruxas relativa ao uso de esteróides.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Like many of the best documentaries, [it] doesn't take us exactly where we expect to go.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Bell's film is in need of an unbiased editor, but his conclusion that the use of steroids is rooted in a poisonous American belief that bigger is inherently better and second best is just first among losers is compelling.
Maitland McDonagh-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Giving his film real emotional kick are the personal stories of Mad Dog and Stinky, two average guys chasing a media-fed dream that will only result in disappointment.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star
An an insider, Bell's work here is comprehensive to the point of over-saturation, but it's all so alien and interesting that it doesn't bog down.
Karina Montgomery-Cinerina
It may or may not change your opinion of how we should treat steroids in America, but it will at least give you greater sympathy for people who use them.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly
The fault is not in our steroids, but in ourselves.
Thomas Peyser-Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
...goes from poignant to amusing to tiresome...
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
The unique point of view -- from a guy who used to take steroids and has two brothers who still do -- is the reason to see this.
Michael Dance-The Cinema Source
Bell makes some good points about the dark side of the American dream, but much of his argument about steroids is muddled.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
