We Are Marshall Ratings & Reviews
UGO
Brian Tallerico
What allows We Are Marshall to stand above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the story itself and the strong ensemble McG gathered to tell it.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Unlike a lot of sports movies, it doesn't end with a championship or a great upset over a powerhouse. The real victory on the Marshall campus was in fielding a team that honored and respected the legacy of the 1970 team.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
We Are Marshall isn't about grief or loss, but how these things can be overcome. It's uplifting, but shallow.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a movie that sits there, doing nothing, leaving an audience waiting and wondering why they are supposed to care or get emotionally involved, which is really too bad because there is a great story to be told here.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
This was undeniably a horrific event for the victims' families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep, and ultimately, cheer.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
A series of montage and anecdotal vignettes follows as they recruit a whole new team, learn lessons from the catastrophe, lose and then win, with plenty of sentimentality sprinkled over the whole thing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
We Are Marshall is a bit of a shame, because the subject matter could have been something special in the hands of stronger filmmakers.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
We Are Marshall is the kind of crassly formulaic movie in which everything hinges on a single play in the final seconds of a big football game.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A better film would have acknowledged the limits of sport and discovered that when you're in mourning all you can do is distract yourself, either by hard work (on the part of the surviving teammates) or meaningless entertainment (the fans).
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
It looks like every inspirational sports movie we've seen in the last five years.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
As sincerely felt as it may be, We Are Marshall still comes off feeling contrived and superficial.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Too bad the film doesn't sustain the mix of sorrow and hope the story requires.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Matthew McConaughey injects some much needed life as the oddball coach who sets out to rebuild the football squad, and David Strathairn, Ian McShane, and Robert Patrick do their best with sketchy characters and artless dialogue.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This is the rare football drama (Friday Night Lights is another) that gives you a sense of what football means to a town.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
More than most films of its ilk, We Are Marshall rises above the clichés that define the genre, connecting sport to larger issues in an emotionally satisfying way.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Its power dissipates by spreading over too many characters without grounding us enough in their stories, relying too much on signifiers of loss and moving on that are too familiar.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The film is emotionally affecting without being particularly distinguished.
