Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell

"He never had the chance to become a grown-up, let alone a middle-aged man. It's this giant kid who takes center stage in I Got a Story to Tell."

"Biggie serves as an origin story on how his rise to hip-hop stardom took not just him but also his people out of the projects."

"It's the life rather than the career that's truly moving, sometimes funny."

"Satisfyingly rich in anecdotal detail, even if the movie can't help but feel like a stretched-out first-act setup for second and third acts that, like the rest of Wallace's life beyond age 24, never arrive."

"Wallace had a real story to tell, and Malloy's film serves as a harsh reminder that no one will ever be able to tell it better than he did."

"This Netflix release is the first to successfully sidestep the quicksand of murder mystery, and focus instead on what Wallace accomplished in life."

"Despite the title, I Got a Story to Tell is primarily concerned with all the tales that went untold."

"Too many rhymes that we've heard before."
