Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Joins the ranks of movies like Hoop Dreams and Murderball as one of the great documentary dissections of how Americans play.

fresh:
Eloquent and occasionally touching, Darkon is haphazardly photographed but unfailingly generous toward subjects who exhibit an astonishing degree of self-awareness.

fresh:
Neel and Meyer approach their subjects with open minds. Running around Baltimore in medieval armor isn't everyone's chalice of wine, they seem to be saying -- but who are we to judge?

rotten:
There should be plenty of material here. But all we see are average men and women looking for an escape from their boring jobs and disappointing home lives.

Empowered as they are, it's hard to take this motley crew seriously when they spit medieval maxims with soccer goals in the background, but the filmmakers approach their subjects with humanity.
