Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Aug 19, 2011
2.5/5
As he tells the story of a pair of teenage brothers looking to qualify for the Olympic boxing team and an even younger fighter trying to overcome a troubled childhood, Frimmer in essence loses the forest for the trees. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Aug 18, 2011
3/5
The fights are unexciting and the brothers uncharismatic, yet the film finds a soft, soulful center... Go to Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Aug 18, 2011
1.5/4
Born and Bred bungles a promising subject with an overreliance on suspiciously on-the-nose, thesis-spouting talking heads. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Aug 19, 2011
Although done to death, there's a great subject here, unfortunately buried by its director's indifferent skills and overall poor choices. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jul 11, 2012 Yes, I am a boxing fan and proud of it! See more Jul 13, 2009 good soundtrack and pictures. See more May 8, 2009 Mais um bom trabalho de Trapero. Um estudo de personagem em situação extrema. See more Dec 12, 2008 4eme film de Trapero, juste avant Leonera. Injustement sous-estime, Nacido y criado verra sa cote remonter un poil (mais guere plus) avec le temps. Un film dur, intime, emouvant si on est pret a etre emu. Et plein de neige, aussi. Ce qui ne gate rien. See more Mar 7, 2008 Great soundtrack and some great shots of Patagonia in the bleak winter. See more Feb 25, 2008 The trauma and tragedy of loss beautifully protrayed in this engaging film. See more Read all reviews
