Bra Boys Reviews
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 24, 2011
In-depth intimate portrait of how a tough Aussie environment within a larrikin culture of rebels with or without a cause has produced spectacular professional surfers.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 7, 2008
A piece of PR propaganda.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 18, 2008
You know going in that this is going to be a fairly one-sided portrait. But it's also fairly thorough with its archival footage, historical and sociological perspective.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 18, 2008
A messy, cheeky, inelegant but unusual and interesting memoir.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008
Lengthy coverage of a murder trial involving Jai and Koby supplies the odd moment of meaningful reflection, but the overall impression is that of an unconvincing PR exercise.
| Jul 31, 2008
What begins as a probing look at this culture feels in the end like pro-surf gang propaganda.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2008
It aspires to but falls short of Dogtown's inspired, edgy mix of sports history, pop culture, social commentary, and revealing interviews.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 9, 2008
...there's an undeniable energy to this subjective, self-serving film which at times says more than it means to about this male-dominated culture.
| Original Score: 83/100 | Jul 4, 2008
It may be brash and a slightly biased but it nonetheless offers a fascinating insight into this surfing society.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 13, 2008
A story of loyalty that men can relate to while their significant others see Sex and the City.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2008
An odd and suspect mix of documentary and public relations.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 30, 2008
Thanks to the documentarian also making his family the film's subject, Bra Boys feels more than a little like a violence-glorifying infomercial.
| Original Score: C- | May 30, 2008
Maddeningly shallow.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 15, 2008
An often fascinating but awkward mix.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 16, 2008
Sorely in need of an outsider's impartial slant.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2008
Despite the undeniable sorrow you see expressed by all, your foot may start to tap and you may find yourself wishing you were on some beach yourself.
| Apr 14, 2008
What it lacks in objectivity, it makes up for in vivid intimacy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2008
