Review

"The script and direction of 'Race' are both workmanlike and serve the film well, helping us to see Owens and Snyder as ordinary people with extraordinary gifts."--Washington Post"At a time when the Oscars and movies, in general, struggle with finding racial balance, two guys of different skin colors coming together for some sports-movie magic is a fitting and truly welcoming lapping of the competition."--USA Today"It's amazing, the power of drama to make audiences worry about an outcome that is part of the historical record, but 'Race' accomplishes just that."--San Francisco Chronicle
