Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Writer-director James Ponsoldt's film treats big subjects -- loneliness, coming-of-age and father-son relationships -- with such half-baked conviction, it's a wonder the screen doesn't redden with embarrassment.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
21 Dec 2006
fresh:
Off the Black is a small, dry, emotionally loaded short story that has been carried to film like baked fish to a platter.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
Nolte almost makes it work.

fresh:
A modest drama fueled by Nick Nolte's gutsy lead performance as a disheveled 57-year-old junkyard proprietor who's been as flattened by life as the rusty old cars he crushes.
– Bob Longino,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

rotten:
The leads are good, and Timothy Hutton is memorably off-putting as the pitcher's disengaged dad. But having created the aching umpire, Ponsoldt occupies him with some fairly shopworn situation.
