Critic Reviews

  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

    You either bring it or you don't, and directors Robert "Bobbito" Garcia and Kevin Couliau know how to do it.

  • Sara Stewart, New York Post

    Daunting though it may be for the aspiring pick-up entrant, this is a fun and worthwhile ode to one of New York's greatest summer pastimes.

  • Daniel M. Gold, New York Times

    "Doin' It" bounces like a crossover dribble, gliding swiftly and surely through interviews, videos and history lessons, then transitioning to today's dedicated ballers and playground culture.

  • Nick Schager, AV Club

    Doin' It In The Park thrives simply via its myriad sights of nobodies juking and dunking their way past opponents, exuding an authentic for-love-of-the-game competitiveness that's as infectious as it is intense.

  • Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

    An irresistibly entertaining, uplifting, well-edited tribute to the subculture of pick-up basketball in NYC.
