Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game Ratings & Reviews
Decider
John Serba
... So damn delightful - it's surprisingly witty, with an easygoing vibe, endearing characters and moderate, but never overbearing period nostalgia.
Film Threat
Jason Delgado
Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game exemplifies the meaning of life in a way that higher profile, big-budget films should only aspire to.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
Pinball won't be among your standard biopics but rather a favorably low-key portrait whose well-oiled mechanisms intend to divert as much as inform.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
With both Mike Faist and Crystal Reed exuding chemistry and enthusiasm, you will want to get some pocket change and pull the plunger on your own pinball cabinet.
Creators Syndicate
Kurt Loder
The writer-directors, brothers Austin and Meredith Bragg, have turned what might have been a dry libertarian tale of a little guy facing down the power of the state into a love story of real warmth and charm.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
"...more than another '70s period piece. The childish game transcends its bells and whistles to tell a profound lesson about growing up."
FilmWeek (LAist)
Andy Klein
It makes a great case for pinball... I found it totally enjoyable.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Anyone interested in gaming history will find a lot to enjoy here; and the general niceness helps make what is essentially a fun 15-minute anecdote tolerable for 90.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
"Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game" is strictly low stakes. This is part of its knowing charm.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This affectionate biopic is steeped in nostalgic charm while balancing its surface quirks with an underlying sweetness.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
This is a real charmer of a film...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
I'd recommend not scrutinizing "Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game" too closely or too promptly, and simply savoring the unusual spectrum of artistic virtues that I found myself admiring-and admiring again, on a second viewing, purely for pleasure.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
The movie strives for a knowing, amiable tone. It achieves a cutesy, slight one instead.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Refreshingly witty, funny and captivating.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
Writer/directors Austin and Meredith Bragg, along with lead star Mike Faist (a breakout in last year's "West Side Story") create a compelling angle to tell this wild true story.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A fascinating story to share, and there's colorful acting to support the crazy journey of Roger Sharpe and his battle to protect the legacy of pinball.
