- 88Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperBS High directors Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe do a splendid job of alternating between present-day interviews with Johnson as well as a number of former Bishop Sycamore players, who will break your heart as they talk about the realization the dream Johnson was selling to them was almost all illusion.
- 80The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe Daily BeastNick SchagerA damning portrait of an unrepentant cheat and the unregulated system—and unsuspecting people—he bamboozled for his own gain.
- 70Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonWall Street JournalJohn AndersonThe lack of oversight revealed in BS High is appalling—Ben Ferree, a former investigator for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, is one of the film’s biggest assets, a somewhat removed, detail-oriented observer who debunks Mr. Johnson’s claims at every turn.
- 60Rolling StoneDavid FearRolling StoneDavid FearIf you wanted to get the scoop on the when, where and how the Bishop Sycamore scandal happened, BS High is a good primer.
- 40The New York TimesRobert DanielsThe New York TimesRobert DanielsThe tale is one of greed and grift. But BS High, a documentary about the saga, is too taken by the audacity of Roy Johnson, the founder of Bishop Sycamore, to critique his actions.
