Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Fear holds up well, and the climactic showdown between father and son offers a tremendously appealing resolution.
– Ty Burr,
Entertainment Weekly,
4 Mar 2011
fresh:
Anthony Perkins, in the young Piersall role, delivers a remarkably sustained performance of a sensitive young man, pushed too fast to the limits of his ability to cope with life's pressures.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
26 Mar 2009
fresh:
Mr. Perkins plays the young fellow excellently, not only conveying the gathering torment but also actually looking like a ballplayer on the field.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
Absorbing, but rather clinical, in the rubber-gloves style of 50s television drama.

fresh:
Fear Strikes Out rolls Frank Merriwell and Sigmund Freud into a ball and then lines it out for a solid hit.
