Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: School Ties has a leafy, genteel look that is somehow less than convincing, perhaps because the hairdos are too tidy and the resemblances to other prep-school stories too clear.
Fresh: Director Robert Mandel, best known for the flashy techno-thriller F/X, brings a surprisingly sensitive touch to this earnest story of intolerance.
Fresh: School Ties is surprisingly effective.
Fresh: The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story.
