      Penelope Houston Times (UK) A good weekend's work by everyone; including the sharp director, Frank Simon. Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times "Weekend of a Champion" will appeal mostly to motor-racing enthusiasts and movie archaeologists. Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News Polanski and Stewart reunite at the film's end to reminisce, but it's the original footage that thrills. Rated: 3/5 Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Tony Medley Tolucan Times ...fascinating insight into the mind of a champion at the height of his powers...a don't-miss film, even if you're not an auto racing aficionado, which I'm not. Rated: 9/10 Nov 29, 2013 Full Review Matt Prigge Metro 'Weekend of a Champion' is too diffuse and too light, and when it comes time for the big race itself, it founders. Rated: 2/5 Nov 22, 2013 Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International An all-access pass into the past, this intimate behind-the-scenes documentary...is entrancing even for those of us whose familiarity with the sport begins and ends with the Indianapolis 500.
