Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Heather BoernerHeartwarming baseball classic for tweens and up.
IGN Movies - 10/10 by Jeremy ConradGary Cooper brings the Yankee legend to life with great honesty and emotion.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis Schwartz[It's] perceived by many film-goers as the best baseball sports biopic ever. It might be right, but only by default.
New York Times - 9/10 by Bosley CrowtherAs a simple, moving story with an ironic heart-tug at the end, it serves as a fitting memorial to the real Lou, who called himself the luckiest man alive.
The New Republic - 9/10 by Manny FarberMaté achieves exhilaration from his angle shooting and the feeling throughout out of a concave screen. Whatever feel of baseball this picture has is the result of his running camera.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeGood biopic of Lou Gehrig. Splendid Gary Cooper performance.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 8/10 by Rob VauxFirst-rate biopic, though Cooper is hard-pressed to sell Gehrig as a college student.
Radio Times - 8/10 by David ParkinsonThe Coop mannerisms aren't really suited to Gehrig, but he gives a typically sympathetic performance alongside Wright and real-life stars such as Babe Ruth.
Goatdog's Movies - 6/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.Only develops any real energy toward the end.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffFor baseball and non-baseball fan alike, this sentimental, romantic saga of the NY kid who rose to the baseball heights and later met such a tragic end is well worth seeing.
