[A]n unusual and affecting baseball drama where nearly all the action is internal.
Los Angeles Times
Simmons, Hawke, and Giamatti are all compelling enough to ensure that THE PHENOM doesn’t turn into a bunch of empty tricks and fussy lighting. Buschel often supplies them with smart, well-written dialogue...
A.V. Club
It's Hawke who gives the film its dramatic urgency.

A 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.

Ethan Hawke is making a habit of playing flawed fathers, but his feckless dads in Boyhood and Ten Thousand Saints appear positively benign in comparison with the toxic parent he plays in [this] psychological sporting drama.

Not everything here works... But it's an interesting, great-looking film, and Simmons is just dynamite in it.

Buschel is clearly on the right track to fully embracing the limitations of conventional structures in storytelling. When he does, it could lead to a minor masterpiece, which at times The Phenom flirts with.
