In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.

Roger Clarke Independent (UK) This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives. Rated: 2/5 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Inspiring football drama brings history to life. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly. Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Every lad is a stereotype, every sporting cliché is trundled out. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The beating heart of the story is still powerful and pertinent which makes this film not only highly watchable entertainment but a thought-provoking (and hopefully in some ways enlightening) crowdpleaser. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) So don't bring along your binoculars, folks, because you will be able to spot what is coming from some distance away. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Connor S. To this day the greatest sports movie ever made Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Nyoka R TENS TENS TENS ACROSS THE BOARD❗️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Matt O 5/5 Remember the Titans is my favorite movie of all time. No matter how many times I watch it, it still hits just as hard. The story, the characters, the music, it all just works perfectly. What really makes this movie special is the heart. It’s not just about football, it’s about bringing people together when everything around them is trying to tear them apart. Denzel Washington is incredible as Coach Boone, and the chemistry between the players feels real. The movie balances serious moments with humor, emotion, and just enough football to get your adrenaline going. Yeah, maybe it plays things safe at times, but honestly, I don’t care. The message, the performances, the way it makes you feel, it’s timeless. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. And if you have, you probably know why so many people love Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Mohsin K A well portrayed film about that era in history great choice of cast and excellent acting a well told storyline that does not deviate at any point of the film. A true honest of a film that is inspirational to athletes and anyone that is looking for a great motivational film, this is a must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review CJ J A very impactful movie and really inspirational to people like me and deserves a lot of fame. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Garrett L Good movie that not only is an exciting, intense movie, but also has a heart to it that really elevates it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
