Critic Reviews

  • Ryan Cracknell, Movie Views

    Plays an honorable game, tackling the touchy subject of ageism on the baseball field. But it's ultimately a hollow attempt, one that thinks that just by touching on a subject that it makes up a plot.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Pastime is a thoughtfully made and intimate drama about a veteran relief pitcher for a class D professional team who turns to mentoring a younger player as his way of saluting the sport he loves.

  • Kevin Fiddler, Henderson Home News (Henderson, NV)

    Great film on minor league baseball in a different time.
