Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: "Head Games" gains credibility and power from compassion for athletes and respect for their accomplishments. But it also tries to open the eyes of sports lovers to dangers that have too often been minimized and too seldom fully understood.
Fresh: One of the more fascinating aspects of a thoroughly entertaining movie is how incomprehensible James' proposed changes are in a country where many would list their necessities as food, shelter and Monday Night Football.
Fresh: A complex, determined look at one of the most pernicious problems facing organized sports on all levels ...
Fresh: [A] powerful documentary about the devastating effects of head injuries in sports.
