Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Sheri LindenA clear-eyed, compelling look at getting out the vote, grassroots-style.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Joe NeumaierWatching politics and the people in it can be disheartening and depressing. Here’s an antidote: This energizing, uplifting, sharp documentary from director Kevin Gordon.
Moveable Fest - 8/10 by Stephen Saito"True Son" is there to capture why all hope shouldn't be lost and thrives on the excitement of witnessing a new star being born.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Michael RechtshaffenAs inspirational pieces go, the journey taken by the affable Tubbs proves hard to resist, even as the film, in its hustle to get to the finish line, occasionally prevents viewers from feeling this underdog story's emotional victories.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisRough-hewed but naturally inspirational, True Son gains heft from its portrait of a city sharply segregated by race and income.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Alan ScherstuhlWith sharper on-the-ground footage, True Son might have been as sharp a doc as it is inspiring a story.
