	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] doesn't always make logical 'sense' and it sometimes likes the eager chaos around football more than football itself. But it doesn't lack for heartwarming moments and underdog sports excitement"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"Part of the power of 'Saints' is how it balances what 'the world' means for the kids versus what it means for the grown-ups preparing them to someday live in it."	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"As much fun as it is to watch these sweet kids and their protective guardians put their all into the game, though, 'Brooklyn Saints' is too often content to skim along the surface of the story rather than digging deeper (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"'We Are the Brooklyn Saints' is beautiful, not just in terms of its subject matter, but in its look and sound and rhythm"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[It] is designed to be heartwarming and inspirational, and Valdez hits the mark on both"	POS
United States	Ashley Moulton Common Sense Media	"What makes the series so compelling is the multi-faceted portrait it paints of the lead characters and where they live."	POS
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"While 'Brooklyn Saints' is a competent enough docu-series, it loses some intensity that could have made it a home run."	NEU
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"At 4 episodes, Netflix’s 'We Are: The Brooklyn Saints' shows how sport goes beyond competition (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
