Hank Stuever Washington Post Momentum Generation puts out a notably wide welcome mat, which means you don't have to know or even care that much about pro-surfing history to become absorbed by it. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times A surf film might not be the first thing you'd expect to bring you repeatedly to tears, but I can say with authority it is possible. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Alex Clement HeyUGuys Warm-hearted and thrilling in equal measure - Momentum Generation is an utterly compelling at a tight knit group of daredevils. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Micah Peters The Ringer Momentum Generation is concerned with how different people traverse that weird and confusing space between childhood and adulthood. Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com The film by Michael and Jeff Zimbalist is full of awesome surf footage on huge waves, but also a lot of emotional reminiscing among its stars, which include Taylor Steele, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado and about a dozen more. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Amy Glynn Paste Magazine Surfing is a craft (a sport? a lifeway?) that has generated a lot of mediocre film over the years. Momentum Generation is something unusual in all that: It's genuine, and genuinely interesting. Rated: 8/10 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
