Leave your thoughts about Bravetown.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA weird combination of saccharine drama with "Footloose," deadly earnest but utterly incredible, the good intentions overwhelmed by silly theatrics. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenBravetown, directed by Daniel Duran from a screenplay by Oscar Orlando Torres, can sometimes drown in its own tears. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohFrom a desperate, Nicholas Spark-wannabe script by Oscar Orlando Torres, director Daniel Duran has fashioned a movie we have all seen before. Many times. |
| The DissolveSheila O’MalleyWhat’s best about the film is its willingness to go deep, its strange yet effective fluidity between serious scenes and dance numbers, and Duran’s grace with weighty subjects. |
| Village VoiceDanny KingAside from a showy opening (a tracking shot that snakes through a club, cribbing freely from Carlito's Way, Boogie Nights, etc.), the movie satisfies mainly due to its affecting ensemble and considerable emotional intelligence. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiIt has heartwarming moments and interesting back-and-forth between characters, while keeping its story simple, if a little on the sappy side in the end. Not a bad start to Duran's directing career. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireOlder audiences are likely to find the film less amusing than risible. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonWhile it hints at something deeper, this slick coming-of-age drama about redemption and reconciliation instead chooses a more formulaic path to catharsis. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWhatever its intent, Bravetown stumbles through a steady supply of contrivances designed to make the budget work and the storylines overlap. |
| Paste MagazineChristine N. ZiembaThe film turns so overtly melodramatic during its third act that it volleys between a Nicholas Sparks film and Tropic Thunder. |
