Critics consensus

“A blue-collar drama with an uncommonly strong sense of its characters and setting, Steel City suggests a bright future for debuting writer-director Brian Jun.”

Steel City is gritty, blue-collar and surprisingly dry-eyed. If it hadn't been a movie, it could have been a song off Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album.

Many traps await novice filmmakers, but writer-director Jun has bypassed most in his absorbing debut.

Writer-director Brian Jun makes it clear that Steel City isn't about big events, even crucial inciting ones. It's about day-to-day decisions and how they change and inform relationships.
