In this very unique documentary we get to come along for the ride in a 10 year long journey from "teenhood" into adulthood for four very different people.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I kind of wish [the filmmakers] followed a few more people, because [the subjects] are not all that different.

Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

Nevertheless, the film effectively illustrates how the words "Most Likely to Succeed," written under a yearbook photo can serve as both a cheering vote of confidence and an awfully daunting expectation.

Docu follows four promising students; some cursing.

Hammer to Nail

Most Likely to Succeed depicts real lives, unscripted tragedies, triumphs, roadblocks and boons. Littky's film exposes the lie that we're told: That everyone has an equal shot in this country.

Musanna Ahmed

Film Inquiry

Whilst occasionally letting her film down with some editing choices that put the subjects in a box, Pamela Littky has made a really interesting film on the open-ended definition of success and the ever-shifting approach to pursue it.

Film Threat

I believe the filmmakers thought there would be more to it when they began their endeavor. This is what they got. Sadly, come award season, this doc is not most likely to succeed.

Rated: 5/10
