Interesting documentary on an interesting character in Marty Reisman (and I do mean character he created) and his place in the world of ping pong, some in his own mind. Not the best documentary, which did cover the last few years of his life, yet kind of glossed over anything deeply personal (a few moments on his ailing wife and his non-relationship with his daughter, but still well worth checking out. **3.75/5**
