Review by: Manisha Lakhe

Say the name 'Jesse Owens' and people will respond with a vague, 'Was he a sportsman of some sort?' But everyone has heard of Hitler. This gem of a film shows us how a young African American rises above the discrimination he suffers because of his race and becomes the greatest Olympian ever, teaching Hitler a lesson in humility.

Review by: Rachit Gupta - Filmfare

Amidst marvellous production values, Race also tells a story full of political context. Watching an underdog win International sprints in sepia tone is reminiscent of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. But this movie has much more emotional depth and deftness than the Indian biopic. If you enjoy films and sports, this is a must watch.

Review by: Rohini Nair - Firstpost

It is truly commendable that in a story that doesn’t have much scope for suspense — Owens’ Olympic feat is hardly a secret — Race is engaging throughout. At one point in the film, Snyder tells Owens that people come to watch him race for the same reason that they stare so excitedly at a plane up in the sky: What they really want, is to see (you) crash. But in the case of Race, all you really want, is to see Jesse Owens soar.
