Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2011 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times The fights are unexciting and the brothers uncharismatic, yet the film finds a soft, soulful center... Rated: 3/5 Aug 18, 2011 Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Born and Bred bungles a promising subject with an overreliance on suspiciously on-the-nose, thesis-spouting talking heads. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 18, 2011 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Although done to death, there's a great subject here, unfortunately buried by its director's indifferent skills and overall poor choices.

Audience Member Yes, I am a boxing fan and proud of it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member good soundtrack and pictures. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mais um bom trabalho de Trapero. Um estudo de personagem em situação extrema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great soundtrack and some great shots of Patagonia in the bleak winter. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The trauma and tragedy of loss beautifully protrayed in this engaging film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
