Sly

Sly, in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, earns the access it was given and does something with it. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 232 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. The access the production secured is remarkable, and it does justice to it. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Sly is worth clearing space for. Sly resists the urge to oversimplify a subject that deserves better. His love of film began as an escape from a rocky childhood. From underdog to Hollywood legend, Sylvester Stallone tells his story in this documentary. Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger bring credibility that the subject matter deserves. It hit screens in 2023. Sly lets its subjects speak for themselves rather than shaping them into a predetermined narrative. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Anyone after documentary work that genuinely informs rather than confirms will value Sly. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Rigorous in a way documentary work does not always commit to. Not background viewing — it rewards your full attention.

Sly was released in 2023, directed by Thom Zimny. The full 97-minute film is available to watch now.
