Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by J. HobermanThis may or may not be the greatest instance of college football ever played, but "Brian's Song," J"erry Maguire," and "The Longest Yard" notwithstanding, Rafferty's no-frills annotated replay is the best football movie I've ever seen: A particular day in history becomes a moment out of time.
tonymedley.com - 10/10 by Tony Medley(W)hen Tommy Lee Jones...tells how funny his roommate, Al Gore, was, is asked for specifics, and gives them totally deadpan, I was laughing uncontrollably.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Leba HertzWhat makes the movie so effective is that Rafferty uses game footage instead of interspersing the movie with cliched scenes of Vietnam protests, campus mayhem, etc. The effective use of this footage builds suspense, even though we know the result.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Rossiter DrakeThe memories the game evokes in its stars, now well into middle age but clearly moved when recalling that November's consummation of one of America's oldest sports rivalries, weave a narrative that transcends football.
Variety - 9/10 by John AndersonHow many thrillers could put the outcome in the title and still provide as many white-knuckle moments as Harvard Beats Yale 29-29?
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaNot just a great sports movie, Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 captures a pivotal moment in recent history.
AV Club - 9/10 by Noel MurrayMuch like the recent "remember when" documentary "Man On Wire," Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 builds strong momentum in its home stretch, and sends the audience out on a high.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsThe film isn't much as cinema, but it doesn't really matter. The final half-hour, in particular, generates the sort of suspense you rarely get in a sports documentary.
Denver Post - 9/10 by Lisa KennedyRafferty uses interviews with the former players, most now in their 60s and nearly all of them touchingly philosophical, to reveal the cultural issues buffeting their campuses, but not necessarily their locker rooms.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisFilmmaker Kevin Rafferty makes the case for remembrance and for the art of the story in his preposterously entertaining documentary Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, preposterous at least for those of us who routinely shun that pagan sacrament.
