Lance Armstrong gets the ESPN '30 for 30' treatment in a two-part Marina Zenovich documentary. Read the review for 'Lance': Sundance
Like a wiry groundhog in biking shorts, Lance Armstrong likes to periodically poke his head out of his hole, offer a few utterances of the truth and then retreat for another six months of obfuscation or delusion.
It's perhaps the most underrated upside of having spent decades lying to absolutely everybody about nearly everything: that you can similarly turn the truth-telling process into a multi-year adventure., premiering at Sundance ahead of its ESPN debut.is surely the most in-depth piece of Armstrong's Tour de Redemption, but it doesn't feel close to definitive. It should be called "Lance Right Now.
He leaves plenty of room for whatever the next Lance Armstrong documentary happens to be, because he's still halfway between victimhood and martyrdom in his own mind. The documentary begins with Armstrong expressing amazement at how many years passed before anybody approached him in the street and yelled, "Fuck you!"

Check back in five years and maybe Armstrong will have a better understanding. Maybe his kids, interviewed and generally evasive, will have enough distance for candor. Maybe Armstrong will eventually have a real answer to Betsy "Wife of Cyclist Frankie" Andreu's long-standing accusations about a hospital confession.
Zenovich pushes Armstrong, though she has to know as well as anybody when he's hedging. Her professional modus operandi isn't really to be an apologist for disgraced powerful men, but that's an accusation that has been thrown after films like, which may be why several early talking heads worry that this documentary might let Armstrong off the hook.
