Critic Reviews
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...the movie's theatrical origins remain obvious throughout, both in the dialogue and direction.
-
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
It's hard to say that the picture is bad, just that it's dry as tinder without a spark to ignite it.
-
Diana Saenger, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Incredible performances highlight this brittle, emotional saga of how significant moments in life can have considerable impact later.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A hard-hitting, brooding drama about sports that lances the American myth of competition and winning.
