Greater Ratings & Reviews
Pauline Media Studies
Hosea Rupprecht
There have been inspirational football movies in the past, such as Rudy, but what sets Greater apart is the subtlety and power of its faith message.
WORLD
Megan Basham
Along with multiple music montages showing Brandon in training, the movie is cluttered with general churchy fluff.
L.A. Weekly
Craig D. Lindsey
Yes, Burlsworth was truly an angel among us, but Greater takes the audience through some heavy-handed hell.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
As a basic football film Greater is perfectly adequate, but it could have truly lived up to its title with stronger convictions on its faith component.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A movie that has some undeniable inspirational appeal, but also one that's so sluggishly told that the appeal is moderately blunted.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Moving, faith-based tale of football star's unexpected rise.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
... not a movie for people who look to movies for something more than uplift or assurance, but that's all right.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
Had the filmmakers not repeatedly returned to the "doubting Thomases" and instead just played the film out chronologically, it would have had more of an emotional impact. (Full Content Review for Parents - Profanity, Bullying, etc. - also Available)
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
While Brandon's own faith never wavers, the film cross-examines Christian pieties and even faith itself to a greater degree than any other faith-based film I can think of.
John Hanlon Reviews
John Hanlon
An inspirational sports drama that dares to ask difficult questions about faith.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
It' s not a big biopic about a big football star. It's an inspirational film about a life well-lived that ended too soon.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Greater loses its way from the get-go; you can't root for an underdog who is sleepwalking through his own movie.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
The best underdog sports movies since The Blind Side. It will make you stand up and cheer!
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Just sweet enough and slick enough to appeal to pigskin fans and Christian family audiences.
Variety
Nick Schager
The life and untimely death of Arkansas football player Brandon Burlsworth is turned into a one-note sermon in David Hunt's leaden biopic.
