Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: As with Step into Liquid, Brown proves in Dust to Glory that the thrill of high-speed racing can be shared by fans and non-fans alike. Read more
Kevin M. Williams, Chicago Tribune: Too many stories touched upon, none in sufficient depth to really galvanize. So you wind up with a 90-minute Baja 1000 commercial, set to music and cliches. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: Using 90 cameras in a variety of formats, he captures the giddy danger of the race with truly visceral force. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The documentary resembles the trajectory of the average Baja 1000 competitor -- an exciting ride that barely crosses the finish line intact. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Contestants have 32 hours to finish the race, and unless off-road racing is your thing, Dust to Glory can sometimes feel like it lasts about that long. Read more
Michael Senft, Arizona Republic: The race becomes a metaphor for life, in which finishing builds camaraderie and victory is not the ultimate goal. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Getting all that human race into the film's 92-minute run time is probably an accomplishment, just not a very involving one. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: Although Brown is not interested in dissecting the event ... he is extremely adept at capturing what commentator Jim McKay used to refer to as 'the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.' Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: As dull as dust for much of its look at the Baja 1000. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Brown fragments Dust to Glory past all continuity, and his relentless gosh-wow! narration makes you wish he had taken the full leap from fan to filmmaker. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: For all Dust to Glory's visceral charge, what lingers most is its hearty embrace of so many varieties of human experience. Read more
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: Exhilarating. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: It's nice that filmmaker Dana Brown feels so revved up about his subject. But the exuberance is confined to his overheated narration and never comes through here. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The talk is engaging and the action riveting. Read more
New York Daily News: Where there is a natural poetry of motion in surfing movies, off-road racing is a herky-jerky pastime whose appeal is hard to fathom. I guess you had to be there. Read more
Anita Gates, New York Times: A proudly rowdy down-home documentary about the 2003 run. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Brown does a very good job of getting across the daredevil thrill of it all. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: There is a kind of madness involved in a race like this, and that's apparently its appeal. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Dana Brown's documentaries crackle with passion. Read more
Benjamin Strong, Village Voice: The movie is monotonous, storyless, and at under 100 minutes, interminable. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: After a while, the digital photography wears out its gritty welcome, and the footage of endless rough roading becomes repetitive. Read more
