Trailer


Reviews


80
Variety - Brian Lowry
Slick enterprise buoyed by a Motown-flavored '60s soundtrack and an appealing ensemble cast.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Glory Road's strength is the way in which it blends social awareness into the sports genre.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Where it succeeds is as the story of a chapter in history, the story of how one coach at one school arrived at an obvious conclusion and acted on it, and helped open college sports in the South to generations of African Americans.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
The movie's great end-title sequence redeems everything. Under the credits, we see and hear the real-life game veterans as they are now--including, movingly, ex-Lakers coach Riley.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
Stirring tale of a team whose big win speeds the integration of intercollegiate sports.
