Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [A] modest, moving documentary.
Fresh: A whole world can be fit into 76 minutes, and that's what the splendid documentary OT: our town manages to do.
Fresh: As the players themselves struggle with finding what Borek calls 'the line between representing ourselves and stereotyping,' Kennedy takes pains to illuminate aspects and insights that buck cliche.
Fresh: Emotionally involving.
