Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything Movie Reviews

A great insight into the mind of one of the most naturally talented snooker players

This for me is one of the best biographical documentaries I have ever seen. It gives an in depth insight into the mental toughness it takes to stay on top of “your game” in the pinnacle of sports, it delves into a “young Ronnie” growing up and the special bond he had with his father , he could quite easily have hung up his cue due to a family crisis involving his father, but the emotional turmoil he endured during this crisis acted as a catalyst and lit a fire inside him. The movie jumps back and forward in time leading up to Ronnie and his attempt at a record equaling 7th world championship. Ronnie Wood and Damien Hirst , close friends of “Ronnie O’ Sullivan ” give some great insights into his mindset. This documentary is an absolute must for any Snooker fan and proves that even celebrity cannot mask you from a mental health issue.

A game of 2 half’s

I thought the first half of this documentary was just filler. Took 20 minutes for it to even get going. I was confused as to what this documentary set out to do. It ended up being a review of the 2022 world championship review with behind the scene footage.

Big Ronnie fan but I felt the documentary was executed poorly. Like I say it did get better but that first hour was just painful of unnecessary filler and no actual content of learning something new about him.

I expect this score that is currently above 8 to settle down to around 7. Finished the documentary feeling shortchanged.

Oh well.

Captures brilliantly the pressure of top sport

I’m a pool and snooker player and I grew up watching Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry. They were incredible to watch and clinical in the way they played the game and mastered the mental control needed to win at high level.

Then along came Ronnie O’Sullivan and, my god! He made the game into his own art form. If you’ve played the game and watched it you recognise an X factor to this guy which sets him apart.

He’s an inspiration to me, how he plays with feeling and instinct and with pure natural talent. The flow of his game. But most of all, as is brilliantly portrayed in this documentary, his ability to overcome his demons on the big stage again and again is remarkable. The film shows that the most mercurial talents are the most captivating to watch. It also really gives you the sense of the intensity of performing in an often claustrophobic arena, the camera constantly on your face looking for any reaction.

The documentary is well-paced, and covers most of the ground contained in the books about Ronnie. There is however an elephant in the room – that Ronnie doesn’t even mention his children. Surely that has to be a massively important part of any father’s story. I’m sure it’s because he wants to shield them from exposure, but I still find it an omission which makes the story incomplete.

That’s the only reason I didn’t give it a 10!
