It's a credit to directors Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Daniels that the personal stories of the kids and coaches resonate more than the wins and losses.

Undefeated is undeniably inspirational stuff.

For the most part admirably chooses honest documentation over emotional manipulation.

"Undefeated" is an emotional and effective film, and I'm happy for it.

I wanted it blow my mind, to flatten me. Demanding, I know.

I wish the directors had emphasized more of the players' personal lives apart from the football field. But, in the end, this is a documentary about Courtney and the transformative powers of caring. He works wonders on his players and they reciprocate.

This year's Oscar winner for Best Documentary Feature seems almost too good to be true...but that's what makes it so effective.

Has a huge heart. There won't be a dry eye in the crowd.

a remarkable documentary about the power of commitment and resolve

Should be required viewing of anyone who is committed to becoming a teen athlete -- or a coach of one.

If you can get through this movie dry-eyed, you are made of sterner stuff than I.

This emotional love letter from a coach to his team follows a downtrodden Memphis high school football team through a tumultuous season which tests the patience of the coach and the tenacity of the players.

A compelling documentary chronicling not just football exploits but a few bona fide cases of quality character revealed.

Forget about "Blind Side". This is the real deal, a stirring documentary about high school football that will move you to tears.

Inspiring football documentary about the power of teamwork.

It doesn't take long before Undefeated finds an intimate perspective, showing interest in the nuances of personality, making the film more than just a collection of touchdown miracles.

Transforms the story of a struggling high-school football team into a deeply moving portrait of teens learning, for the first time, that they're capable of greatness.
