Billy McMillin's rousing "The All-Americans" serves as a timely take on finding one's identity both on and off the field. Go to Full Review Yolanda Machado TheWrap 11/07/2019
Yes, East L.A. is a community that struggles with poverty and homelessness and crime, but what the film lacks and forgets to capture is that, despite these struggles, and the kids' additional burdens, there is much beauty and joy to be found.

Not a sports documentary...seeing what it takes for these Latino boys to get on the East L.A. football field is much more involving than the limited playing time on screen. Go to Full Review Edwin Arnaudin Asheville Movies 12/10/2019
3/5
A passable documentary that thinks it's a powerful activist statement but is little more than a basic youth sports drama. Go to Full Review Chris Salce Film Threat 11/14/2019
