Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Steel City is gritty, blue-collar and surprisingly dry-eyed. If it hadn't been a movie, it could have been a song off Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album.

fresh:
Many traps await novice filmmakers, but writer-director Jun has bypassed most in his absorbing debut.
– Andrea Gronvall,
Time Out,
23 Jun 2007
fresh:
Writer-director Brian Jun makes it clear that Steel City isn't about big events, even crucial inciting ones. It's about day-to-day decisions and how they change and inform relationships.

fresh:
Steel City is a moving look at fathers and sons. [Director] Jun neither romanticizes nor pathologizes blue-collar family life. In this earnest rust belt indie, doing the right thing means tipping the scale of justice.
– Bill Stamets,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
The phrase 'small, personal film' can sound like an alibi for a trivial and self-indulgent vanity project, but Brian Jun's well-crafted Steel City embodies the highest promise of the term.
