What the Critics say | ||
Cape Times Lael Loewenstein Earnest, well-acted drama | 10 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman | 12 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Gracie is painless enough and, at times, even enjoyable. But it suffers from an overriding feeling that this would be better positioned as a made-for-TV feature. | 13 | |
ScreenIt The pic might have seemed better if so many other similar films hadn't already preceded it, but with the likes of Bend It Like Beckham also on the cinematic playing field, this one sort of disappears into the crowd. | 10 | |
