Critics Consensus: An acute survey of the football-obsessed heartland that succeeds as both a stirring drama and a rousing sports movie.

Reviews

For the Win (USA Today)

Cory Woodroof

The 2004 drama filled the gaping need for a film about toxic small-town football culture and gave the sport a much more realistic slant.

Friday Night Lights still remains one of the most entertaining and engrossing sports movies of the past two decades.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

The game sequences do stand out, but this refreshingly no-frills affair also finds time to question the value of the win-at-all-costs ethos rife in modern sport.

With Billy Bob Thornton's garrulous Coach Gary Gaines masterminding every play, you'll get caught up in the action even if you can't tell your 'first-and-down' from your 'time-out.'

The New York Review of Books

Lorrie Moore

It is reminiscent of a war movie...the football impact scenes are brutal and the sound editors have the volume on high for each wince-inducing hit, underscoring the disposability of the boys...
