"Riveting..."

"Fire in Babylon certainly has the right mood, but it seems unanchored and ambivalent to the details of its own subject."

"This triumph-of-the-underdogs tale is enjoyable in the retelling, despite its repetitious hammering of the message."

"Powerfully demonstrates how the successes of these sportsmen, in a game associated with white colonial superiority, proved inspirational in the global struggle for black equality."

"It all adds up to an entertaining 88 minutes, despite the film's ramshackle construction and its once-over-lightly approach to political, cultural and athletic history."
