The pic becomes a reflection on the common experience of readjusting one's youthful dreams, rather than a triumphant charting of rarefied paths afforded to a chosen few.

Battleship Pretension

A clear-eyed and razor sharp documentary, In Football We Trust finds the pathos in all of it.

Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

Overall, the documentary is well made and well executed, and it tells a compelling story. But its greatest strength may be its own honesty.
