Movie Reviews

Black Star News - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsBittersweet football flick less concerned with gridiron feats than with how members of a tight-knit community deal with their grief in the wake of a disaster.
Palo Alto Weekly - 10/10 by Jeanne AufmuthDoesn't score any touchdowns in the emotion department.
Maxim - 9/10 by Pete HammondThis unforgettable and incredible true story of tragedy and triumph in the face of overwhelming odds is a striking testament to the power of the human spirit.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesMatthew McConaughey injects some much needed life as the oddball coach who sets out to rebuild the football squad, and David Strathairn, Ian McShane, and Robert Patrick do their best with sketchy characters and artless dialogue.
Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusMore than most films of its ilk, We Are Marshall rises above the clichés that define the genre, connecting sport to larger issues in an emotionally satisfying way.
Charlotte Observer - 9/10 by Lawrence ToppmanFilmmakers have presented an unvarnished drama about Marshall University and the people who love it, and the results are inspirational.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Jessica ReavesSurprisingly restrained and undeniably entertaining.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by M. E. RussellOften as not, the movie works. Here and there, it works kind of beautifully.
UGO - 8/10 by Brian TallericoWhat allows We Are Marshall to stand above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the story itself and the strong ensemble McG gathered to tell it.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Betty Jo TuckerI've never been able to accept Matthew McConaughey in a romantic role, but he's very impressive as the dedicated coach in 'We Are Marshall.'
