4/4 Stars! “one of the nice surprises of 1984 — an exciting, sweet-tempered, heart-warming story with one of the most interesting friendships in a long time…It’s one of 1984’s best movies.” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)
“a generation of remove reveals what a well-crafted movie it actually was. Rewatched today, the original Kid, directed by Rocky’s John G. Avildsen, feels smart and fresh, with a wealth of small character details” (Slate)
“A great underdog story” (Capital Times)
