Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
The film lets you get caught up in the excitement of this religion and the addictive nature of those stadium lights. Berg and cinematographer Tobias Schliessler get up close to the action, catching the hits and miscues in all their violent urgency.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
Friday Night Lights is the Black Hawk Down of high school football movies. As exclusively as Ridley Scott's picture was about combat, this film concerns football and nothing but.
Todd McCarthy
Variety
When Friday Night Lights gets to the big games, the time it's spent creates an atmosphere thick with tension, one akin to the real-world experience of watching a favorite team play for its life.
