Leave your thoughts about The Backyard.
| OffoffoffJoshua TanzerOw! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! I think my brain is bleeding from watching The Backyard. |
| NewsdayJan StuartThe pint-sized version of World Wrestling Entertainment on display here is sport as child pornography, one in which the participating minors and their sanctioning parents are complicit. |
| Boxoffice MagazineCharles MartinIn short, this is an x-treme documentary, as riveting as a road accident and a lot more bloody. That this film might give other young people ideas is something that keeps me (and probably director Hough) awake at night. |
| TV GuideKen FoxChances are you'll watch most of this documentary with both hands over your eyes, but as a window into a particular kind of insanity seizing kids in heartland America it's enthralling. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayRemarkable for the intensity of the interviewees, who show a new kind of all-American gumption in the way they filter the mannerisms of low-rung celebrities through their own geeked-out, violent imaginations. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThough engaging from beginning to end, be warned that this is also harrowing, utterly depressing stuff. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanThe movie is not for the squeamish, but for those who are unafraid to look at what is, perhaps, their own metaphorical "backyard," for those willing to stare into the long, dark night of the contemporary American soul, its bone-crunching message is worth hearing. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittEventually you realize the whole movie has been about young showoffs who think it's uproarious to gross out neighborhood grownups. |
| User ReviewJohn Ehardcore extreme how wrestling should actually be this is great for any wrestling fan. this is the real sh*t |
| User ReviewJeremy SThis is as good a documentary about backyard wrestling (is this still a thing people do?) as you're going to get. A bewildering topic very smartly presented. |
