	Author	Review
United States	Lisa Kennedy Variety	"Reginald Hudlin delivers laughs and a few tears (...) [The director] plies more than a few nuanced gestures in service of the story"	POS
United States	Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"The cast of 'Safety' is as convincing as possible. Disney knows how to make blandly effective sports dramas. But some stories are less inspiring than they seem."	NEU
Ireland	Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"An inspiring movie for sports fans (...) There are some comical and touching moments scattered throughout 'Safety'"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"As it is, the family pic's light tone never lets its themes of addiction, abandonment and poverty hit home, instead focusing on its hero's unlikely accomplishment and the brotherhood of sport."	NEU
United States	Scott Hines Decider	"'Safety' shows what the world of sports can offer at its best, and this is a truly well-done movie that your whole family can enjoy."	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It is a very safe choice for family viewing, but too tepid and inconsistent to recommend (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] feels like it aims a bit higher than some of the service's fare, and it's good-hearted and uplifting"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[It] is not much more than an inspirational college football commercial"	NEG
United States	Kyle Turner The New York Times	"It scores points for giving its lead characters complicated situations, emotional depth and political dimension."	POS
