Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 09/13/2012
1/5
Nistico's clichd, sledgehammer dialogue alone is enough to shut this one down. Go to Full Review
Kristina Bravo L.A. Weekly 10/12/2012
Nistico seems to have achieved what he wanted: He validates the question, If the American dream was stolen, wouldn't you want to steal it back? Go to Full Review
Phil Hall Film Threat 09/17/2012
3.5/5
The film scores as an honest and often disturbing portrait of contemporary working class life, and it certainly deserves to be seen. Go to Full Review

06/24/2016 For its reported $75,000 budget, BLUE COLLAR BOYS is an accomplishment - grim poetry about the current recession with a bleak message that the working class can only be pushed so far. There are some flaws with the script that overindulges in its misery without providing any relief, but BLUE COLLAR BOYS is a searing reflection of our times. See more 10/23/2012 Blue Collar Boys deserves a two thumbs up! Realistic and original this film illustrates the emotional and financial struggles suffered by the blue collar families that make up the back bone of American Society. As the main characters are challenged with many difficult decisions throughout the film it was very difficult at times to hold back tears. It's very refreshing to see a film grounded in reality about REAL people instead of characters living in a typical Hollywood fantasy. I highly recommend this film!

I can't wait to see it again! See more 09/24/2012 While visiting friends in New York state, I'm invited to go see this indie film. First off, I'm very lucky both my parents have jobs, but, this film made me think of the good chunk of this country that's suffering. And frankly we could ALL be around the corner from financial FUBAR! . . cudos to the man who made this movie, it made me THINK! And thank u for NOT filling this world with more thoughtless dribble. Support indie film AND your local mom and pop shops yo! See more 09/22/2012 I saw this in Toronto, and i'm so glad it seems to be taking off, its a worthy film, with a worthy message. Well done, really takes a look at the struggles and obstacles that the working class face and I recommend any movie lover that is conscious of todays economic and social problems to check this one out.
