April 22, 2016 The Safdies have done remarkably well in resurrecting an old project, which although lacking in production value, simply needed to be seen by the world.

Shared Darkness
December 15, 2013 Lazy, fly-on-the-wall filmmaking. The Safdie brothers have the benefit of some rare extant footage, but absolutely no idea how to shape it into an interesting narrative.

PopMatters
December 30, 2013 It's clear enough that even if his turns into a cautionary tale, his is also the story shared by many more kids than LeBron's.

Under the Radar
June 10, 2016 The film's informed voyeuristic style ... allows Cooke's actions to speak louder than any words the often soft spoken protagonist might have shed on his life.
