Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times 08/19/2011
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 08/18/2011
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 08/18/2011
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 08/19/2011
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

07/11/2012 Yes, I am a boxing fan and proud of it! See more 07/13/2009 good soundtrack and pictures. See more 05/08/2009 Mais um bom trabalho de Trapero. Um estudo de personagem em situação extrema. See more 12/12/2008 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 03/07/2008 Great soundtrack and some great shots of Patagonia in the bleak winter. See more 02/25/2008 The trauma and tragedy of loss beautifully protrayed in this engaging film. See more Read all reviews
