Only the Brave | Ratings & Reviews

"Director Joseph Kosinski follows up his sci-fi pics with the down-to-earth true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite US firefighters who risked all to save their town. Think The Perfect Storm, only in a forest, and you’re in the ballpark for a drama jettisoning macho posturing and Hollywood heroics for a respectful, low-key approach."

Flicks, Adam FrescoFlicks

"A gripping and powerfully emotional portrait of yee-haw heroism, pitting a squad of cocky, calendar-purty white dudes against an adversary with no creed or colour, just an unquenchable appetite for destruction."

VarietyVariety

"While aspects of the routine become mundane, it's the developing brotherhood amongst the men, and the sense of community around them, that ultimately strengthens this story."

Time OutTime Out

"This may not be a story of triumph, but it's inspiring nevertheless."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Only The Brave leaves a mark."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"A corny but heartfelt look at devastating real-life story."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"Tells its tale well enough, but ultimately it's the flames that move fastest."

StuffStuff

"A true-life drama with a sure sense of character and milieu, "Only the Brave" is a thoughtful, well-observed look at community, heroism and addiction."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"It takes a very respectful view of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, with just the right emotional kick to leave an impression."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"While "Only the Brave" is consistently involving and entertaining, [its] desire to be accurate about a heroic reality proves to be an at times awkward fit with the conventions of this kind of earnest and old-fashioned Hollywood film."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"An engaging account of a tragic real-life story."
