PolygonAllegra FrankFeb 20177/10For better and worse, We Are Chicago dares to spend as much time on life's tinier moments as its most dramatic ones. That balance isn't always maintained successfully: Blunt dialogue often undercuts the power of otherwise understated scenes. But the combination of the two still gave me a broader, better perspective of what life is really like on the South Side.

GameSpewWesley ScottFeb 20176/10It's too bad that its production values and general lack of polish keep it from ever achieving a proper moment of emotional transcendence… but there's enough earnest desire to show you the world through a glass darkly that We Are Chicago isn't without value.
