Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Alan ScherstuhlThis stellar, incisive slice-of-life doc centers on the kind of crowd-pleasing competition story that lures in audiences and then lays bare heartsick truths about small-town America today.
The Playlist - 7/10 by Kevin JagernauthIt may not strike the political notes it wants to hit completely, and may fall just short of the impact it would like to achieve, but Medora provides a sweet, small tale of survival, not just of a high school basketball team, but of a town trying not to get eaten up by supposed progress.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisA mournful Midwestern ballad devoid of grace notes.
Variety - 7/10 by Joe LeydonFilmmakers Andrew Cohn and Davy Rothbart uncover and illuminate a strain of stoic resilience that could be the last best defense against bottomless despair. Unfortunately, as Medora repeatedly suggests, that invaluable resource may not be inexhaustible.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Frank ScheckUsing the plight of the hapless team and its troubled young players as a microcosm of American society in decline, Medora, inevitably bound to be compared to the more ambitious and accomplished Hoop Dreams, nonetheless scores some winning points in powerful fashion.
Shockya.com - 6/10 by Brent SimonA measured but emotionally effective gut-punch lament for the death rattle of small town America, as told through the prism of a hapless Indiana high school basketball team.
tonymacklin.net - 6/10 by Tony MacklinMedora is a poignant gasp at the devastation of small town America.
Time Out - 6/10 by Eric HynesThough it’s culled from 600 hours of footage, Medora feels thin in terms of memorable imagery, and bounces a little too hastily between scenes. But it’s utterly impossible not to pull for these boys, or for a film that sees them as complex individuals rather than sociological evidence.
The Dissolve - 6/10 by Scott TobiasAs in Hoop Dreams, troubles at home raise the stakes hugely on the court, though the dream here is far more modest: to slake their thirst for just one victory, and to know, for once, what winning feels like. Their pursuit of this elusive goal gives Medora a strong narrative through-line, but Cohn and Rothbart cling to it too fervently.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierAndrew Cohn and Davy Rothbart’s doc, exec-produced by Steve Buscemi and Stanley Tucci, is one more sad, serious eulogy for a way of life.
