Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
Brassed Off is a sweet film with a lot of anger at its core.
|
|
ReelViews -
Brassed Off! is a traditional feel-good motion picture with an element of social commentary thrown in for good measure.
|
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
The characters are beautifully drawn in this bittersweet melodrama written and directed by Mark Herman.
|
|
The New York Times -
Brassed Off is shamelessly manipulative and sentimental, but in an agreeably familiar way.
|
|
Austin Chronicle -
In the end, though, the undeniable power and emotional richness of this film swing the balance toward the good.
