Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 6/10 by Miriam BaleThe film is a thorough piece of reporting on the issues, characters and deeper cultural ramifications. But rather than present this impressive investigation as an objective reporter, Mr. Pamphilon makes the film, perhaps unnecessarily, a personal story.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael Nordine[Pamphilon] won't wow you with his skill behind the camera, but you'll likely still find yourself nodding your head in frustrated agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by John DeForeThough full of material that will move sports fans, some questions of emphasis and lack of polish make the film less galvanizing than it might've been.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Robert AbeleA structural, chronological mess of information and emotion, so chaotically shot and edited to move from stat to image to sound bite that it suffers from its own concentration issues.
User Review - 10/10 by Sarah BThis film is a must-see for anyone with a loved one who plays football. There is so much about the sport that tends to be hidden, and it is important for people to be aware of the dangers. This is an extremely interesting documentary that taught me a lot about the sport and what goes on that we are unaware of.
User Review - 10/10 by Lawrence MAn important study of the issues revolving around youth football through the NFL. This film literally helped inform my decision to let my son play football. All parents of youth football boys should see this.
User Review - 10/10 by Todd BWell-done, entertaining and completely fascinating
User Review - 10/10 by Colleen JThis is a must see documentary for every parent, grandparent, board of education, PTA and coaches in peewee divisions! Knowledge is power,
