School Ties
Description
David Green, a Jewish man, receives a football scholarship to a prestigious junior high school in the 1950s. It seems that David completely conceals the idea that he is Jewish where he feels the pressure to conceal the fact that he is completely Jewish. When he becomes a big man and reveals his background, maybe it will be different.

Though well-intentioned as a message picture, the film is too schematic and predictable, and ultimately may be more significant in featuring a new cohort of actors, including Brandon Frazer, Chris O'Donnell, Matt Damon, and others.
June 24, 2006
More notable perhaps for a roster of future stars and Oscar winners than for its unexceptional plot, this well executed film nevertheless has its charms.

Well-intentioned (and only occasionally mawkish) tale of college-boy anti-semitism.
January 01, 2000
There's a dramatic imbalance to Dick Wolf and Darryl Ponicsan's screenplay.
October 15, 2007
Fraser, O'Donnell, Damon and Affleck would all go on to have much hyped careers, and occasionally make better films than this overbearingly worthy classroom drama.

Stirring movie may be too heavy for some tweens.
October 15, 2007
This is a bewildering mixture of fairly accomplished storytelling, awkward contrivances in the script, and lies in the overall conception so egregious they undercut any pretensions the film might have to social seriousness.
Rolling Stone
May 12, 2001
Good intentions go for naught as director Robert Mandel (F/X) pounds home every contrivance in the script by Darryl Ponicsan (Taps).
October 15, 2007
The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story.
New York Times

School Ties has a leafy, genteel look that is somehow less than convincing, perhaps because the hairdos are too tidy and the resemblances to other prep-school stories too clear.
October 15, 2007
In the real world, it's more likely that Greene's working-class background would work harder against his acceptance at a snooty prep school than his religious beliefs, but School Ties largely ignores this angle.
January 01, 2000
Director Robert Mandel, best known for the flashy techno-thriller F/X, brings a surprisingly sensitive touch to this earnest story of intolerance.
