Haunting, heartfelt and even-handed, Valentine Road should be required viewing in teaching tolerance on middle-school and high-school campuses. Oct 8, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4

Valentine Road does an impressive job of making a 2008 shooting at a junior high school in Oxnard, Calif., horrifying and disheartening all over again. Oct 8, 2013 | Full Review…

For viewers, Brandon's action feels tragic and inexcusable. The hard part is how to respond to it, and Valentine Road, like much of "the system," doesn't suggest any easy answer. Oct 7, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Though the ugly phobia that gave rise to the killing and permeated the legal proceedings boils the blood, the film's tone is somber rather than angry, and its effect is quietly devastating. Jan 29, 2013

Plumbs the pathetic depths of intolerance and distorted compassion in one of the supposedly most liberal states in the union. Its panoramic and both-sides approach to a brutal, traumatizing act of retaliatory violence chills and stills the heart. Aug 31, 2015 | Full Review…

[It] features subjects who voice conflicting concerns, but also resists casting judgment [on another]. That's not to say you [won't] come to your own conclusions or that the film doesn't help in that process, in juxtaposing certain interviews or images. Oct 7, 2013 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

I went into this movie knowing nothing about this case. Upon seeing it, I am saddened and disgusted. The outcome of the trial made me extremely angry. I couldn't believe how flippant the jurors and Brandon's lawyers were about his actions. How dare they say that 21 years in jail is too long for someone "so young"...he murdered someone! However, I do believe this film could be a good educational tool in classrooms to teach tolerance and bring awareness.
