Leave your thoughts about Dealt.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryThe film's story is deeply moving, and Korem wisely doesn't doll it up with a lot of fancy, stylized cinematic sleight of hand. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniHe may have begun the years-long project to illustrate Turner's accomplishments, but Korem ended up with a richer profile of a perfectionist who realizes he still has things to learn. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedBeloved and admired, Turner has led a full life, and Dealt is a fitting tribute to his many accomplishments. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeA lively and endlessly fascinating documentary that achieves a rewarding intimacy with its subject, Dealt holds all the aces. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonWhat is, at its outset, a rather charming film about the world-famous card mechanic Richard Turner and the obstacles he has overcome, winds up being a searching study of the painful nature of coming to terms with your own vulnerabilities. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThis is a movie that has lots of magic, in more ways than one. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyIf you thought card tricks by sighted people were neat, you ain't seen nothin' yet. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThe final scenes of Dealt are all the more affecting for illustrating Turner’s newfound willingness to accept things he once deemed unacceptable without significantly compromising his personal code of honor. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAs keenly observed by Korem and cinematographer Jacob Hamilton, Dealt achieves the neat trick of giving its main subject a rewarding character arc. |
| Film Journal InternationalSimi HorwitzLively and informative documentary about a brilliant sleight-of-hand magician who has a black belt in karate-and is blind. |
