Andy Irons: Kissed by God

About This Movie

Andy Irons: Kissed by God delves into the complex life of the celebrated surfer, whose public persona masked deep struggles. It's raw and unfiltered, capturing the stark realities of bipolar disorder and opioid addiction. The pacing has this almost melancholic ebb and flow, reflecting Andy's turbulent journey. The film's atmosphere is heavy, yet it manages to celebrate his talent and grit without romanticizing his demons. The interviews feel intimate, and you can sense the genuine care in recounting his story. It’s distinct for how it humanizes a sports figure, showing the burdens of fame and the harsh truth behind the glimmering surface. Not your typical sports documentary, it’s more of a character study that resonates on multiple levels.
