Critic Reviews

William Lobdell

Facing the Giants, which despite its flaws is ultimately a sweet, sincere movie about Christian faith. Read full review

Joe Leydon

For those who felt insufficiently uplifted by "Invincible" and "Gridiron Gang," here comes Facing the Giants, an aggressively inspirational drama about a born-again high school football coach. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Josh Rosenblatt

Very pleasantly suprised. Not a big budget production, but go in with the proper expectations, and you will be pleased. Uplifting.
