Critic Reviews of "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete"
Minneapolis Star TribuneDecember 10, 2014This is an impressive piece of grass-roots filmmaking.
New York PostOctober 11, 2013A gritty, sometimes downright heartwrenching story of two young boys left to fend for themselves for weeks during a boiling-hot summer in a Brooklyn housing project.
RogerEbert.comOctober 11, 2013Proves to be as awkward as its title thanks to its uneven screenplay and tone, and questionable casting in supporting parts.
New York TimesOctober 10, 2013Pitched fascinatingly, at times uneasily, between misery and uplift, "Mister & Pete" tells the story of an endlessly resourceful child who survives the unimaginable over one long summer.
Washington PostOctober 10, 2013They may be tiny little kids, but they deliver outsize performances.
Los Angeles TimesOctober 10, 2013"The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" is a moving bit of mischief and mayhem that will break your heart, give you hope, make you laugh, possibly cry.
Black Girl NerdsMarch 21, 2017The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister & Pete will hopefully usher in a new wave of coming of age tales that inspire and redefine expectations.
CinemixtapeApril 14, 2016Everyone involved here does so much good work that the film's blemishes are easy to overlook.
Independent Online (South Africa)March 21, 2016Directing pitfalls notwithstanding, these young stars deliver such earnest performances that the audience will find it hard not to be moved by their tale.
Movie MezzanineApril 08, 2014At its best, the movie is emotionally rapturous, helped along by Brooks's incredible talent. At its worst, while it avoids falling into poverty porn (to my judgment, at least), it runs into a kind of hysteria of putting children in danger.
Cinemalogue.comNovember 02, 2013The expressive performances of the two young protagonists helps to smooth over the rough spots in a script that too often turns sappy and heavy-handed.
TheMovieReport.comOctober 28, 2013Mister and Pete are, as the title goes, inevitably served up defeat at practically every turn, but ultimately it is outweighed by the strength and resilience the pair come to consistently display in the oppressive face of it.
