Leave your thoughts about ATL.
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseIt's heartening to be able to report that ATL is as much like Diner as it is like Boys in the Hood....Robinson may overdose on style, but he also respects the homegrown origins of this ATLanta-bred tale. |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA tip of the cap to Tip Harris and Lauren London for it is their chemistry and charm which allows one to believe in their tenderhearted romance in an atmosphere where women are regarded as objects and affectionately called 'bitches' and 'hos.' |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe more rink time, the better: As directed by hip-hop music-video king Chris Robinson from a story by "Antwone Fisher's" Antwone Fisher, the skate scenes are a blast. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfThis is a superb film with a lot to say about people, not stereotypes. And it does so with vigor and intelligence, not a crushing need to play to the lowest common denominator. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe story is familiar, but terrific performances and a vivid sense of place elevate it above the average teen-oriented picture. |
| Reel.comKim MorganAlong the way, the film is bogged down by its dramatic twists and turns. |

| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...serves as the Kanye West to gangster-rap movies such as `Never Die Alone.' |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... a surprisingly strong coming-of-age movie with a great young cast. It pops with color and humor and pays attention to the details that situate it in a real location ... |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanATL may fail to wow on the skate floor, but it still makes decent melodrama. |
