We get a sense of the history of this game: where it comes from and where it goes to... It's really interesting.

Los Angeles Times

Billy McMillin's rousing "The All-Americans" serves as a timely take on finding one's identity both on and off the field.

TheWrap

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.

Maven's Nest

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.

Rated: 7/10

Edwin Arnaudin

Asheville Movies

A passable documentary that thinks it's a powerful activist statement but is little more than a basic youth sports drama.

Rated: 3/5
