Critic Reviews

Sheri Linden

Captures the excitement of the game as well as the intimate drama -- and comedy -- of the human conflict. Read full review

Kevin Crust

A winning combination of humor and crafty filmmaking. Read full review

Joe Leydon

A sly curve ball of a documentary best described as a sports-themed "Rashomon" with an O. Henry twist. Read full review

Wesley Morris

A rarity for documentaries. The movie is a full-tilt farce, and were it not completely true, it'd be a piercing satire that Preston Sturges might have polished into a resonant screwball. Read full review

Gregory Kirschling

I say the movie is infuriatingly unfair to Hayashi; others will cry foul for Popov. See it with an umpire. Read full review

Joshua Land

Wranovics's entertaining documentary feels appropriately detached. Read full review

Dallas Observer Bill Gallo

As another exposé of stubbornness, petty opportunism, and greed, there's some residual value in the story of two unappealing characters. Read full review
