Keaton is terrific, as is the entire cast; the result is a lean, polished little gem.

Reviews for Game 6
A meditation on American theater and the Great American Pastime that hovers above the surface of reality but never quite takes off, either.

Top CriticIf you're looking for a film about smart, confused people who make mistakes (like Buckner) and try to learn from them, this could be it.
05/04/06
Novelist Don DeLillo brings many of his strengths to the screenplay for Game 6.
04/20/06
As a Sox fan and a writer, Game 6 spoke to me. Viewers without interest in baseball, DeLillo or criticism, may feel that the movie is just a short trip to nowhere.
03/24/06
A gratifying playground of high-wire language.
03/07/06
A very nice and simple film, with clear messages and sparklingly witty dialogue.
04/10/06
Yup, it's one of those philosophical movies about the nature of life and why the Red Sox always lose.
03/03/06
Adeptly proves that you've gotta have heart.
03/06/06
No writer could ever top the high drama witnessed in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series — which may be the point of this sloppy but endearing mash note to baseball, art and fate.
03/30/06
Game 6 is enthralled with the sound of its words, even as it loves the deliberate, sensual pace of a well-played (or well-lost) ball game.
04/27/06
Screenwriter DeLillo and director Michael Hoffman have a near-perfect player in Michael Keaton.
03/09/06
... a quirky little comedy ...

Um retrato pretensioso de Nova York como centro dramático do mundo que acaba se salvando em função dos bons diálogos e das ótimas performances de Keaton e Downey Jr.
06/12/06
The film is meandering and highly uneven, but Robert Downey Jr. is truly oddball as a venomous drama critic, and watching that ball once again roll through Bill Buckner's legs is torture (for Red Sox fans anyway).
03/23/06
Keaton embraces his role with a relish he hasn't shown in more than a decade, winding his character into new corners of desperation with each scene.
04/06/06
It’s one of the best films of the young year.
03/16/06
This material could be pitched at various levels. You can imagine it being incorporated into a sequel to The Producers, or being transformed into quasi-O'Neill.
03/23/06
Top CriticA shaky director, a deadly critic and a losing ball club collide in an entertaining surreal showdown just off Broadway.
04/03/06
The Red Sox as fatalistic metaphor is almost a quaint notion now, but Game 6 brings it all back to vivid life.
