Reviews

Bolstered by sterling turns from stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Tatiana Maslany, and Miranda Richardson, the film is a showcase for what Green has always been able to do so well, and what his actors continue to excel at.

Stronger is a film filled with warmth and humanity, but one that doesn’t sugarcoat the reality that comes with it.
80
Perhaps the most striking thing about David Gordon Green’s Stronger is how it refuses to turn its subject into a hero or even a small-time symbol of courage, as one might legitimately expect of a survivor story, even while the world is clamoring to put him on a pedestal.
75
Some of it is too broad, and I wish the film dug a little deeper at times, but this is one of those rare inspirational films that earns its inspiration.
75
Gyllenhaal is onscreen pouring his heart and soul into an imperfect man who’s made more inspiring for being so.
