Metacritic reviews

This film is like another work in the canon of baseball poetry.

Banks allows the exhilaration of the game and the exigencies of realpolitik to determine the ups and downs of her film’s sentimental journey.

The history lesson is fascinating, and it’s nice to see an American export other than a Hollywood blockbuster engendering good will.

A stirring ode to cultural bridge-building.

In spite of the compelling raw material in the lives of its ostensible subjects, it strikes out as an act of storytelling.

The movie doesn't really focus on many individuals long enough to make them compelling screen characters.
