Critic Reviews

A whole world can be fit into 76 minutes, and that's what the splendid documentary OT: our town manages to do.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

At the end, when they have created a vibrant new theater program for their school, their sense of triumph is infectious. " 'Our Town' Is Ghetto!" one of them exults. Thornton Wilder, wherever he is, would understand and take it as a compliment.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

A smart, seamless commentary on race, class and the expectations (or lack of) that are often attached to them. Kennedy is helped greatly by deep currents of heart and humor that pull you into the unfolding tale, and to the edge of your seat as the countdown to opening night begins.Full Review

Ernest Hardy
L.A. Weekly

The evolving drama of the amateur, crisis-strewn production creates its own tensions, internal structure and time frame. Pic constantly surprises.Full Review

Variety

Kennedy takes pains to illuminate aspects and insights that buck cliché.Full Review
