Critic Reviews

  • Rachel Saltz, New York Times

    Deliberately small-scale, "Five Time Champion" has tough-minded moments but too often veers toward the sweet and even the treacly.

  • Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

    Rule of thumb: If a movie about how life is messy features someone lecturing about how messy life is, that movie is not nearly messy enough to do justice to life.

  • Sara Maria Vizcarrondo, Boxoffice Magazine

    It's not just the little film that could, it could be the last honest movie in Texas.

  • Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

    With every landscape cutaway and twinkling note from its xylophone-heavy score, it begs to be taken as a dreamy slice of countryside profundity.
