3 stars out of 4 -- 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.

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...

The mental side of baseball might be critical to winning, but it's not all that exciting to watch.

Rating: B --
Instead of big fireworks, "The Phenom" offers low-key character moments. It's a small film with a lot of insight.

Rating: 6/10 --
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.

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

Rating: 3/5 --
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.
