2014
Documentary, Biography
1h 40m
On June 12, 1970, Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 136 years of baseball history, only 276 no-hitters have been recorded. Dock is the only pitcher to ever claim he accomplished his while high on LSD. Often at the forefront of controversy and has been called the "Muhammad Ali of Baseball." He was an outspoken when black athletes were no longer content to accept second-class treatment or keep their mouths shut about indignities. The press labeled him a militant. (nonoadockumentary.com)

Shows that Ellis was more than just 'the dude who threw a no hitter on LSD.' The movie is smart to use that as the hook, too, only to go much more in depth with who he was in and away from baseball. And like the man he was, it doesn't shy away from his darkness and vile behaviour he was capable of. Some of the stylistic methods and wonky chronology throws it out of sync, but it's still a really interesting doc about a very interesting Dock.

Often amusing, sometimes a little brutal, always enlightening, and firmly sticking the landing.

This is a great sports documentary. I'm not a huge sports fan. I don't have any favorite teams. But I love the politics of sports. It fascinates me. I want to know the players, because after all they're like 1 in a million. Anyway, this documentary is damn near perfect in that sense. It's not about baseball. It's about the humanity within the athlete. This is executed in a pristine, damn near perfect way. Also, as others have mentioned, the LSD thing is basically a side note, yet it still works.

A genuinely revealing portrait of sports iconoclast and All-Star pitcher Dock Ellis, NO NO captures you with a hook about an eccentric acid-dropping, curler-wearing space cadet. But from that hot take emerges a greater understanding, as the filmmakers determinedly peel back the layers of a complex, complicated man, and rely on some unexpected voices to unravel the mystery. Both subject and film are, as they say in the bigs, a beauty.

Baseball legend Dock Ellis is as fascinating on the field as he is off, and he was always "high as a Georgia Pine".

Interesting topic but maybe not the most interesting coverage - but as someone with no real interest in baseball this film appeals as it's just that much more about a guy with an interesting story who just happened to be playing baseball - and judging from his reactions and stock footage I imagine Dock had something similar going on too.

This is a well made documentary. I did not know anything about the subject before I watched this film. Dock Ellis certainly lived an interesting life. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes baseball.

A collection of stories from teammates, family, and outsiders, to give a better picture of who Dock Ellis actually was, rather than being solely known as the man who threw a no-hitter on LSD. The doc is a story of a man who was able to reclaim his life from the throes of addiction, and made a positive impact on those around him until his passing.

I don't know how cooperative the MLB was in regards to providing appropriate archival footage and I think that hampers what would otherwise be an great documentary.

I didn't know much about Dock Ellis before watching this documentary. Like most viewers, I knew the facts in the byline. This movie presents a beautiful man to the audience, a man who was misunderstood his entire life. You can really tell that Dock just wanted to help people, but to do that he needed to help himself first. I can honestly say now that Dock Ellis is my favorite baseball player ever. He was a man like any other who made mistakes and fought to make the world a better place.

Come for the dude who threw a no no on acid, but stay for the interesting look at a controversial athlete. It's frustrating that a lot of the specific games they discuss don't have corresponding footage, which I imagine is a consequence of doing a documentary that the MLB didn't want to participate in. Otherwise good filmmaking.
