  • Critic Reviews of "The Dark Horse"

    Globe and Mail
    April 15, 2016

    Curtis is 100-per-cent watchable as a puffy, mumbling shuffler whose chess lessons double as life strategies.

    Boston Globe
    April 14, 2016

    "Dark Horse" falls into the formula of underprivileged kids challenging the elites at their own game. But the outcome is never certain.

    Washington Post
    April 14, 2016

    "The Dark Horse" isn't always easy to watch, but Curtis's quietly powerful presence makes it worthwhile.

    Arizona Republic
    April 14, 2016

    Curtis' portrayal of Gen's ever-present, invasive mental illness isn't mere window dressing and lacks showboating. The camera hugs his meltdowns with an uncomfortable perseverance as he talks to himself, hallucinates and turns manic.

    Tribune News Service

    The film never shies away from the hard topics, and the actors bring nuance and heart to this intensely dramatic and affecting film.

    San Francisco Chronicle
    April 07, 2016

    There are heroes to root for in "The Dark Horse," and you'll feel mostly good about humanity walking out the door.

    Adelaide Review
    August 10, 2016

    A hugely chunked-up Curtis, a Kiwi actor who's worked all over the world but returned home to star in and help produce Robertson's film, is masterly here.

    This year, Disney bypassed the feel-good sports movie, and luckily for U.S. audiences, we got a smaller but better version with The Dark Horse.

    New Zealand Herald
    June 01, 2016

    A great, deeply affecting movie.

    The Young Folks
    May 22, 2016

    ... The Dark Horse understands that it requires more than simple narrative tricks and interesting factoids to make its "true story" stand out as a great film.

    East Bay Express
    April 29, 2016

    A serious, even solemn, tale of personal redemption.

    Film Comment Magazine
    April 29, 2016

    The Dark Horse is a rough beauty of a picture.
