Review of Ali (2001) by David Denby for The New Yorker — 12 Jan 2011
We see the movie levitate when Ali and Brown chant, "Float like a butterfly," the slogan that takes on a different meaning in each context, starting off as hopeful and spry, finally becoming rueful and pointed.
When the film pulls off moments like these, it's breathtaking -- a near great movie.
