Critic Reviews of "The Phenom"
indieWireJanuary 01, 2017When Buschel narrows his focus and has a handle on these characters' essences, there are flashes of greatness. All he needs is a tighter grip.
San Diego ReaderJuly 01, 2016This "love me daddy" baseball pic that earns points for spending less than 5 percent of its time on the diamond and refusing to end in open competition...so far as the playing field is concerned.
NPRJune 24, 2016Not everything here works... But it's an interesting, great-looking film, and Simmons is just dynamite in it.
RogerEbert.comJune 24, 2016A welcome surprise for sports cinema, "The Phenom" handles itself like Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" when exploring the psychology of a Lebron James or Johnny Manziel-like sports sensation.

EricDSnider.comJuly 11, 2016A thoughtful, introspective sports drama that suggests Noah Buschel, like Hopper, may have greatness in him.
Film InternationalJuly 11, 2016As sports-centric films go, those folks looking for cheering crowds on a mild summer's night won't find much joy in The Phenom's mudville. It's a slow walk around the bases.
Cinema-stacheJuly 07, 2016A cold, hard look at how the scars of our youth follow us into adulthood and what attempting to make peace with one's demons actually feels like
