Movie Reviews

Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 9/10 by Jeff ViceThe film makes a convincing case that the seemingly antiquated play may actually be more relevant today than ever before. Who would have guessed?
Village Voice - 8/10 by Laura SinagraKennedy takes pains to illuminate aspects and insights that buck cliché.
Old School Reviews - 8/10 by John A. Nesbitpromotes a message that more people need to understand in order to get past false stereotypes
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenWatching these scared, alienated kids turn into a family is a moving demonstration of the power of art.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Ernest HardyA smart, seamless commentary on race, class and the expectations (or lack of) that are often attached to them. Kennedy is helped greatly by deep currents of heart and humor that pull you into the unfolding tale, and to the edge of your seat as the countdown to opening night begins.
Salt Lake Tribune - 7/10 by Sean P. MeansDirector-photographer Scott Hamilton Kennedy's celebratory documentary shows how the students proved the naysayers wrong.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Rex RobertsOT is inspiring, but abstractly so, like a six-part series on arts and education in the L.A. Times.
San Francisco Examiner - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonOne of the most truthful 'backstage' films in ages.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Sheri LindenEntertaining and heartening, OT is also an urgent reminder of the importance of arts-related programs in the schools, and could serve as a useful tool tool for those fighting the good fight for such funding.
User Review - 10/10 by JOJO GA wonderful movie, so heart-warming and sweet. It's so shocking that the whole thing is true!
