Rating: 3/4 --
The best part of this film is the affection with which both sides recall the contest -- not as a loss or a win, but as a commitment to their teammates and respect for the game.

A most entertaining straightforward no-frills documentary by Harvard grad and then Harvard undergrad Kevin Rafferty.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 3/4 --
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, a mosaic of storytelling told by former college-level gridiron athletes, pieces together the remarkable story of a fateful 1968 match between the titular Ivy League teams.
Seattle Times
Rating: 4/4 --
What makes the movie so effective is that Rafferty uses game footage instead of interspersing the movie with cliched scenes of Vietnam protests, campus mayhem, etc. The effective use of this footage builds suspense, even though we know the result.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: 3/4 --
Rafferty uses interviews with the former players, most now in their 60s and nearly all of them touchingly philosophical, to reveal the cultural issues buffeting their campuses, but not necessarily their locker rooms.
Denver Post
Rating: 3/4 --
If the film meanders at times, reaching for significance in the wrong places, football fans will nevertheless find it charming. [Blu-ray]

Told through a mix of vintage game clips and new interviews with the graying players, this doc shows how competition can build character. -- Grade: A
