Winds up biting off more urban high school malaise than we can swallow without gagging.

3 stars out of 5 -- [A] social melodrama in the truest sense....Abt makes her dramatic feature filmmaking debut in an impressive fashion after directing a series of political docs.
Box Office
Rating: 2/5 --
Krause and Martin consistently rise above the material; we'll hopefully see more of them under better, less Larry Clark-like circumstances.

NewsBlaze
The film's observations about race, class and friendship are clear and accessible without being overly didactic...
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
For good stretches, Toe to Toe has an engaging frankness about youthful liberty as both a weighty armor and a dangerously alluring escape hatch.

Product Description:
Two seniors at an elite Washington, D.C. prep school forge a close relationship on the lacrosse field, only to find their growing bond tested in this drama inspired by a study that indicates interracial friendships end at age 14 for approximately 87 percent of American teenagers. Fiercely determined to succeed and build a brighter future outside of Anacostia, Tosha (Sonequa Martin) is an African-American scholarship student from one of Washington's poorest neighborhoods. Perhaps Tosha's polar opposite, Jessie (Louisa Krause) is a privileged white girl from Bethesda whose promiscuous tendencies threaten to become her undoing. Though the relationship shared between the two girls is most certainly of the love/hate variety, they both strive to gain a better understanding of one another's plight as society threatens to drive them ever farther apart.
