David Ansen

RTNewsweekMar 7, 2018

The movie has a bred-in-the-bone sense of place, and a willingness to take big emotional risks.

RTAustin ChronicleFeb 16, 2011

The writing and directing team of twin brothers Alex and Andrew Smith have made an astonishingly good first feature.

B

RTNew York Magazine/VultureFeb 16, 2011

Having made his name as a ferocious, self-hating Jewish skinhead in The Believer, 22-year-old Ryan Gosling gives another memorable performance as a lonely, world-hating fatherless quarterback in The Slaughter Rule.

[Gosling] once again shows how magnetic he can be in challenging roles.
