ATL Reviews |
As for T.I., he proves himself a worthy vessel for the kind of teen dreams that ''ATL" is courting. Taut-necked but easy, sleepy-eyed but with a wakeful austerity in the leanness of his face, and showing a super-Southern drawl that tightens into a snarl when he's roused, he carries the film unproblematically on his slender shoulders. You just relax, he seems to be saying, and leave my imminent mega-stardom to me. [read review] 
--James Parker (Boston Globe)
... Yet the performances, mostly by unknowns and hip-hop artists who are unknown to me, are all down-to-earth and honest, often comical but never clownish or silly. Black urban youth are treated with dignity and affection -- something that doesn't often happen in movies -- and it's a respectable, mostly enjoyable film. [read review] B-
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
...is a likable film with an affirmative and hopeful message about the fate of its main players. A good story, decent acting on all levels and expertly handled roller skating choreography should make this little gem do well with the youth market and, whoknows, may cause a resurgence in roller skate rinks.

In trying to channel a four-wheeled version of Boyz N the Hood, ATL rolls right past its more appropriate predecessor—Saturday Night Fever. Had it tapped into the strutting power and "fever" of that classic, this film could have been a real sensation. [read review]
--KIM MORGAN (Reel.com)
...is a loose video diary of some well-intentioned teens finding their way. At best, it trucks along on the unforced ease of inner city friendship. It just doesn’t offer anything we haven’t seen in an after-school special. [read review] 
--Sean O'Connell (FilmCritic.com)
This is a superb film with a lot to say about people, not stereotypes. And it does so with vigor and intelligence, not a crushing need to play to the lowest common denominator. [read review] 
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
...His approach, the talent of his acting ensemble, and the intelligence of the screenplay make ATL an engaging experience. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
