    • Gradually, our excitement gives way to something deeper, a mingling of hope and anxiety, a sense that in our desire to see William and Arthur succeed, we had only the vaguest notion of what they were up against.Hoop Dreams is about beating the odds in a world where the greater your achievement, the steeper the odds keep getting.

    • Roger Ebert

      The movie simply turned out to be a masterpiece, and its intended non commercial slot was not big enough to hold it. ( Read More )
    • Hollis Griffin

      This films greatest strength is that it is pragmatic before it is hopeful. ( Read More )
    • More of an extended, rousing sociology lesson than anything else, its also the single most remarkable documentary to come down the pike in a long while. ( Read More )
    • Richard Corliss
