McFarland

« Dominée par le solide Kevin Costner, l'interprétation est globalement satisfaisante, avec une mention pour le jeu habité de Carlos Pratts dans le rôle de l'opiniâtre Thomas. »

« Les passages obligatoires de défaites à victoires se déroulent presque trop longuement dans ce film un peu trop prévisible qui sort la fin de semaine des Oscars. »

« Give McFarland, USA your time, especially if you have a teenage athlete in your family. »

« McFarland USA is a pleasant film that manages to make your heart swell up a bit. The characters are engaging, and Costner is really solid as a Coach discovering inspiration from his athletes as well as his family. »

« Along the way, McFarland, USA gives us a vital sense of hardscrabble lives and dreams of glory deferred. All cheers here are fully earned. »

« Because, finally, McFarland, USA is a paean to family and community. And a story about why, even as so much of what we see about the so-called ''American Dream'' is tinged with disillusion and corruption, the United States remains a land of some kind of opportunity for millions of people who come here to do back-breaking work, day in, day out. »
