Critics' reviews
- "The tale (...) is undeniably inspiring and ideally suited for a cinematic rendering. But 'Defiance' resists bold, passionate storytelling and delivers something rather conventional. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
- "The perfect antidote to the post-holiday blues. It's exciting, well-acted, touching, and genuine. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
