Movie Reviews

TV Guide - 10/10 by Perry Seibert[Head Games] owes more to Michael Moore's advocacy work than D.A. Pennebaker's cinema verite style, but in its own way, it's just as powerful a portrait of what sports mean to the people who play them.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Frank ScheckThe devastating effects of head injuries in sports are detailed in Steve James' wrenching documentary.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanAn important film that every athlete - or parent of an athlete - should see.
The New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottHead Games gains credibility and power from compassion for athletes and respect for their accomplishments. But it also tries to open the eyes of sports lovers to dangers that have too often been minimized and too seldom fully understood.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranIt's a complex, determined look at one of the most pernicious problems facing organized sports on all levels.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertSome of the film's more thought-provoking scenes involves games played at Chicago's Near North Elementary. The players are obviously emulating pro games they've seen on TV. It's not a "game" for them. They go for hard hits.
Shockya.com - 8/10 by Brent SimonThere may not be a more important documentary release this year for the general health of (especially sports-playing) American kids than Head Games, an impactful look at the trauma inflicted by repeated concussions.
Boston Herald - 8/10 by James VerniereIf you have children involved in contact sports, you must see 'Head Games.'
PopMatters - 8/10 by Cynthia FuchsPlayers risk their health and their very lives, in futures hard to imagine when they're eight or 12 or 24. Head Games means to change those futures, for players and sports alike.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Jake MulliganSeeing former NHL star Keith Primeau's teenage son light up to talk about how fighting is "pretty fun" gives us the conclusion the statistics can't yet provide: before the games can change, we need to.
