Movie Reviews

One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekTells a familiar story, but does it well enough to merit a passing grade.
Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Nina MacLaughlinNolte nails the particular tragedy of the past-his-prime ex-high-school athlete.
culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Beverly Berning"Off the Black" is writer/director James Ponsoldt's first movie...When I found out how young Ponsoldt is, only twenty-six, I was shocked that someone so young could have such insight into, and such empathy for, the existential disquietude of middle age.
Murphy's Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Ted MurphyOFF THE BLACK is a small picture that might get lost amidall the holiday hoopla and Oscar-bait fare that is clogging the cineplexes. It's worth seeking out; those who do will find a sweet but not saccharine story.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Duane ByrgeLike a good pitcher, Trevor Morgan varies his emotions and perfectly grooves his role as the high-school star. Huffing and puffing, Nolte plops around with brilliant finesse, smartly exposing this frustrated old ballplayer's inside strength and fears.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Tim GriersonOff the Black gradually establishes its own peculiar cranky rhythm, fighting to resist the usual male-bonding sentimentality. But despite some nice touches, this is the sort of too-precious indie film that gives its characters unnecessary quirks.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittThroughout the film, there is a sense that the actors know a lot about these characters and that they believe in them. The result is a movie that we believe in, no matter where it goes.
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Ken FoxWriter-director James Ponsoldt's first feature is a small, modest movie structured around a fairly simple situation that leaves plenty of room for some fine performances.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrOff the Black is a small, dry, emotionally loaded short story that has been carried to film like baked fish to a platter.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Peter HartlaubThere's nothing too small about Nolte's performance. He's the perfect companion for a rookie feature film director looking to make a good first impression.
