	Author	Review
Canada	Andrew Parker The Gate	"Covering already well documented and adapted ground in an entertaining and innovative way, 'The Real Right Stuff' is a familiar history lesson told in captivating fashion"	POS
United States	Amy Nicholson The New York Times	"A bland chronology of successful launches and minor mishaps (...) Sixty years have not dimmed the Mercury crew’s courageous, telegenic appeal"	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"For a movie about the first Americans flung into the freezing, dispassionate void of outer space, 'The Real Right Stuff' is a crashing bore. It’s for diehard history buffs only, or maybe insomniacs."	NEG
United States	Stephanie Myers Common Sense Media	"An entertaining, fascinating look at the early days of NASA and how the U.S. space program came to fruition."	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A solid, impressively constructed documentary, but it’s a drier account of a great American achievement than the scripted series it was released as a companion piece to (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
