Our take
A Netflix US R documentary about the quarterback's college fame and troubled NFL career. Expect discussions of injuries, financial fallout, conflict with coach Jeff Fisher and mature sports-world themes. No graphic violence; emotional and career setbacks dominate. Suited to about US R and up.
Uplifting themes
Honest reflection and resilience after setbacks get real emphasis Young shares his story openly, and some mentors and family offer support Sports-history and career documentary value come through
Story (may spoil tone)
After delivering one of the greatest performances in Rose Bowl history, Texas Longhorns legend Vince Young was the NFL's next big thing, and for a while, he was. But a career riddled by injuries, conflict and sudden loss tells a far more complicated story than the highlight reels ever showed.
