Reviews


75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Brassed Off is a sweet film with a lot of anger at its core.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Brassed Off! is a traditional feel-good motion picture with an element of social commentary thrown in for good measure.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Stack
The characters are beautifully drawn in this bittersweet melodrama written and directed by Mark Herman.
70
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
Brassed Off is shamelessly manipulative and sentimental, but in an agreeably familiar way.
67
Austin Chronicle - Russell Smith
In the end, though, the undeniable power and emotional richness of this film swing the balance toward the good.
