Measure of a Man Ratings & Reviews
FlickDirect
Allison Rose
While occasionally difficult to watch Measure of a Man is overall entertaining and reminds the audience to never settle and always be their best selves.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
Instead of rehashing familiar tropes, the film keeps the audience engaged with a first-class performance by Blake Cooper as the film's 14-year old protagonist Bobby Marks.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Heartfelt lessons about bullying and self-esteem are shoehorned into a contrived and predictable narrative structure in this mildly nostalgic coming-of-age drama.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A tender, heartfelt and endearing drama with a breakthrough performance by Blake Cooper.
SF Weekly
Jeffrey Edalatpour
Accurate period details weren't a high priority in Jim Loach's coming-of-age story Measure of a Man.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
It owes parts to a long list of movies that you're better off watching instead of this one.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Brings no distinctive personality or plot angles to a very familiar set of misfit-hero woes and eventual, underwhelming triumphs.
Washington City Paper
Noah Gittell
It's a deceptively powerful performance, and although it is not enough to elevate the entire genre, it nonetheless separates Measure of a Man from its competitors.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
There is a lot to love in this gently funny and wise little movie.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It's a sweet and knowing and lovely and funny story, but occasionally the spell of warm nostalgia is broken by painful moments of family heartbreak and cruel bullying.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Sincere but underwhelming.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
[Blake] Cooper acquits himself as the main character, but between the pratfall/character-building montages and the endless platitudes imparted by the wise, old mentor, Measure of a Man does him few favors,
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's just another version of a story we've seen many times before.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
Cooper is an appealing actor, and his character is easy to root for. But while the movie serves as a pleasant piece of nostalgia, it's not very deeply felt...
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Offers decisive proof that fresh and different is overrated when you've got a strong cast, a beautifully written script and fittingly measured direction.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Nothing that transpires could be considered unique but the commonality of experience is a strength. We can relate.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
[Spotlights] its lead by letting everyone serve his adolescent awakening [while trying to also] provide depth to characters specifically drawn as those pawns serving him.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a movie of gestures and feints, in which we're constantly being told of events and relationships rather than seeing or feeling them.
Film Threat
Tiffany Tchobanian
Cooper delivers a brave, raw and moving performance. He brings an innocence and wisdom to Bobby.
Village Voice
Serena Donadoni
By shifting events in Robert Lipsyte's One Fat Summer from the 1950s to 1976, screenwriter David Scearce adds new layers of poignancy to the young adult novel's end-of-an-era narrative.
