Glenn Heath Jr. Hollywood Reporter Whiteley has constructed an engaging look at how big picture issues can be intimately explored through human confessionals. Jan 28, 2015 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Warm, personal, and direct in its approach. Rated: B Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Rob Thomas Madison Movie "Most Likely To Succeed" is starting a good and necessary conversation. But it's a conversation where everybody needs to be called on to speak, not just a few loud voices. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 28, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Most Likely to Succeed [2015] Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Another flawed generalization that pre-assumes: 1) public schools are failing; 2) what works at one school works across the country; 3) what works for some students work for all students; 4) what sounds reasonable is reasonable. Social studies are NOT sciences, because they don't do control experiments. And the moneyed interests have succeeded in convincing Americans that their public education system is rotten to the core, so privatization through vouchers and charters are the answers. Meanwhile, hedge funds are pouring millions to bankroll "reform" groups and movies like these, to privatize one of the last remaining sectors intended for the public good. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 9/10 What happens when you stop teaching to the test? You get to see Samantha blossom from shy ingenue to confident director of her own play. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member So my school hosted an screening of this movie at a local art house theater last night and I was lucky enough to attend the event. The producer was there, and he talked a little bit before the movie started. I will always have this film as a memory of this special event. As for the movie itself, it's an incredibly intriguing documentary about how American education can and possibly should evolve. It made me think about the future of education, my future, and the future of American children and how they are going to be education educated. I never thought I would be so invested in a movie involving education and statistics. This film is at times funny, emotional, intriguing, and all around got me on many levels. This is one of the most intriguing films I've seen in a long time and if you could find a way to see this film I highly recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
