Sydney Morning Herald
It's a fascinating film that points the finger at a charismatic master of deception -- as well as our willingness to buy his deceit. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
It's no lie when I tell you The Armstrong Lie is a powerful piece of filmmaking; an absolutely riveting, compelling and beyond fascinating look into the mindset of Lance Armstrong.

Behind The Lens
3.5 stars out of 4 -- You’d have to start looking into ancient Greek tragedy to top it as a showcase for pure, unadulterated hubris.
Chicago Sun-Times
3 stars out of 5 -- Gibney's character study of Armstrong is tough and forensic.
Empire
[A] thorough and engrossing investigation that manages to smoothly integrate footage shot for the earlier work into a very different framework.

Product Description:
Alex Gibney surveys the rise and fall of acclaimed and then disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong in his documentary THE ARMSTRONG LIE. The director presents the complicated history of the controversial figure, including his troubled father-free childhood, his battle back from testicular cancer, his seven consecutive Tour de France championships, the creation of his Live Strong charity, and his subsequent admission to a blood doping regimen that allowed him to stay at the top of the physically demanding sport for so long. Gibney sits down with numerous reporters who tried for years to expose Armstrong's continuous fibs, and also interviews those who were inside Armstrong's inner circle. THE ARMSTRONG LIE screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
