“Ben Affleck and Dwight Gallo have delivered a tense period drama with a slow burn mentality, deliberately plotting out the story’s development throughout. It’s not an easy type of film to pull off, but Born in Brooklyn managed.” - Pearce Chayka, Daily Telegraph
“Born in Brooklyn features several strong performances from both its young cast and its veteran cast. The top-billed Affleck and Hendricks don’t get the most interesting roles in the film, but they manage to anchor the film with their solid supporting performances. Their interactions serve almost like a Greek chorus for the film, grounding the material.” - Chris Price, Boston Herald
“The development updates for Born in Brooklyn have kept the plot of the film a mystery, so I didn’t know what to expect going into this one. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised by the film’s coming of age story set in the rough streets of Vietnam War era Brooklyn.” - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects
