Critic Reviews of "Sleight "
Chicago ReaderMay 04, 2017Sleight... is a minor film with major virtues: tenderness, imagination, and a strong grasp of character and setting.
RogerEbert.comApril 28, 2017[Latimore] has a magnetic screen presence mixed with a down-to-Earth directness. And while he's got swagger for days, he's just as compelling when his character is quietly contemplating his next move.
New York Magazine/VultureApril 28, 2017The film lives and dies by Latimore's performance, which is quiet and ever-shifting.
VarietyApril 28, 2017Dillard's feature debut squanders its high concept ... and serves up a low-rent, Nickelodeon-lite version of that story, blowing his chance with corny acting, paint-by-numbers plotting, and a dippy score.
TheWrapApril 27, 2017A tight tale well-told, with an appealing hero, a direct route to satisfaction, and the ever-present sense that the merest turn toward stylistic extravagance or adventure frippery would sink it.
MTVApril 27, 2017Dillard's not interested in the Zing! Pow! Bam! Sleight is quiet, almost naturalistic, even when Bo is stopping bullets with his bare hand.
Film InquiryMay 18, 2017Sleight's payoff and take home messages are good enough to mostly forgive its glaring flaws.
Common Sense MediaMay 05, 2017Director by J.D. Dillard brings this under-the-radar drama close to genre cliches but deftly avoids them with his strong characters, fine storytelling, and vivid atmosphere.
Austin ChronicleMay 04, 2017There's more going on here than meets the eye, but Sleight's sleeveless heart beats true and conjures its characters to wild life.
Movie NationMay 03, 2017Overly familiar drug-dealer-wants-to-get-out plot saddled with a scientifically insupportable gimmick as its solution.
Black Girl NerdsApril 30, 2017For a film at least partially about magic (and, "science-magic"), it lacks a decided bit of that necessary misdirection, and the proceedings are often predictable. Sleight is, well, slight.
CompuserveApril 29, 2017A street magician with a magnetic personality baffles spectators in a reasonably entertaining naturalistic drama.
