Critic Reviews for A Season on the Brink

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (2) | Rotten (3)

Hoosier coach Knight's media profile has been so high for so long, his portrait is complete; Season on the Brink fails to build on that media-created persona.

Phil Gallo
Variety
A Season on the Brink is a movie on the brink, as it ploddingly follows Knight and his Hoosiers during the 1985-86 season.

Howard Rosenberg
Los Angeles Times
Feinstein's source book provides sufficient detail to humanize the controversial coach and explain his philosophy, but ESPN goes for the cheap shot instead and doesn't even reach the rim.
