Only the Brave Ratings & Reviews
Ty Leet
January 23, 2025
A heartbreaking and honorable tribute; a must-watch in the current climate.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Only the Brave is essentially a war film, with brave commanders and earnest (and not so earnest) young men who love each other fighting a menacing and relentless enemy.
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
The story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots deserves a better movie.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The based-on-a-true-story Only the Brave is visually and narratively strong, but falters when it steps outside of a totally masculine zone.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a seriously magnificent motion picture, one I'm almost certain to still be talking about as the year inches closer to its conclusion.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Only the Brave feels like a film that would have made sense coming from Peter Berg or Michael Bay, but Kosinski mostly pulls back on the macho cheerleading to find something more objective, and ultimately, deeply emotional.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Though the movie, based on an article in GQ, by Sean Flynn, offers fascinating insights into the practical exertions and bureaucratic complications of firefighting, it places much greater emphasis on the protagonists' personal lives.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Only the Brave is not a hollow Hollywood action movie: it's a tribute to a group of men, and their supportive women, who made a difference. Watching the film is a humbling and intensely moving experience.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Gary Thompson
It's rare to see such imaginative energy expended to tell the stories of 'ordinary' men.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
For a moment, we get to be a part of that group of hotshots, and it is piercingly sad to lose them.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Director Joseph Kosinski puts the brotherhood of the unit front and center, emphasizing the bonds forged over sweat and soot. He directs with a sense of duty to honor the crew, and he does the job.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
What goes down in Yarnell, and Kosinski's respectful portrayal of it, is undeniably devastating - and a well-deserved salute to a group of low-key heroes.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Director Joseph Kosinski makes effective use of the wide-screen frame (particularly in capturing the Arizona vistas), though he fails to build on any of the script's straightforward themes.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
This is a job for real heroes. The reminder of their sacrifice could not come at a more opportune time.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
While "Only the Brave" is consistently involving and entertaining, [its] desire to be accurate about a heroic reality proves to be an at times awkward fit with the conventions of this kind of earnest and old-fashioned Hollywood film.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Filled with male bonding and macho bravado, it's a polished, old-fashioned account of heroism, one whose familiar beats and episodic nature somewhat blunt its dramatic spark.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The movie overall can feel more than a little formulaic, but as a tribute to real-life heroes, Only the Brave serves its purpose.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The cast as a whole, under the direction of Joseph Kosinski, brings gleeful energy to a group portrait of good souls in the American heartland, working one fire after another and living it up in between.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Take out the classic-rock soundtrack, and it could be a vintage Hollywood story of competence, camaraderie and derring-do; only its title feels generic.
Tribune News Service
Rick Bentley
"Only the Brave" is a heart-touching reminder of what real heroes look like and how they act.
