Absolutely the worst movie.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Free to Play is a 2014 documentary film by American video game company Valve Corporation. The film takes a critical look at the lives of Benedict "hyhy" Lim, Danil "Dendi" Ishutin and Clinton "Fear" Loomis, three professional Defense of the Ancients (DotA) players who participated in The International, the most lucrative eSports tournament at the time. The central focus of the film is how their commitment to DotA had affected their lives and how this debut tournament for the sequel, Dota 2, would bring more meaning to their struggles.

First of all the movie for everyone. Every person who doesn't understand anything about e-sports and e.t.c. Its a story about players, about their live, activities, feelings. It shows us how hard can it be for player in his life. Because they are not ordinary people. Their parents think that they are spending their life for video games. They don't want to disappoint their parents friends. This movie is a best example to let people know that video games are not only resource to spend your life but also resource to do what u like mostly in your life and even earn some money. I am a player of Dota 2 and i loved this movie. Recommend for everyone. Sorry for my broken English

This film gives you a great insight into the world of e-sports and its rise in popularity. What used to be considered as a basement dweller's hobby is on its way to become a recognized, legitimate sport. And in some countries, this already is the case. More importantly, however, the film allows you to follow the lives of three professional gamers on their way to "the international", a Dota 2 tournament whose victors would receive the highest prize money for a gaming event at that time: one million dollars. You get to experience the pressure they undergo in the face of the tournament, but also their struggle for recognition with their families. What their peers consider a waste of time could in fact end up make those kids millionaires and celebrities. From the beginning to the end, the film grips you tight and does send you on a roller coaster of thrill, anticipation, excitement and also disappointment, sadness and reflection. You feel for and with the people in Free to Play, also thanks to a great job in editing and scoring. Even if you are not familiar with Dota 2 or the e-sports scene in general, I would highly recommend watching this film as it opens both the world of e-sports and the private lives of those 3 gamers. And it's definitely worth a watch.

After watching this documentary, I can't help but find myself realizing that this movie was about so much more than the game it is based on. Following the life and struggle of these three exceptional players and people caught me off guard and often had me feeling sentimental. Valve did an excellent job of telling their stories without over promoting their company/game. I found that they chose the perfect three people to base this documentary on. On one end you see the success of Danil, the struggle of Benedict, and the drive of Clinton. Three completely different people with completely different lives and different stories. The one thing in common was the struggle and the pressure they all lived. Once again Valve did an excellent job of really highlighting how great these three truly are. I recommend this to any viewer who just wants to watch a great documentary.This is more than just a game.
