Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- There are pleasures along the way: Giamatti's a delight to watch...and Shaffer makes Kyle an endearing character...
Total Film
While all this may sound a bit contrived, we're won over by the depth of the characters and fine detail of their world.

Maclean's Magazine
5 stars out of 5 -- WIN WIN is a film with a big heart; it's an eccentric dramedy and a crowd pleaser.
Box Office
Win Win isn't a morality play; it's just a really good story. But it does deal with an issue that couldn't be more relevant: Where do we draw the line when it comes to survival if it means clouding our sense of right and wrong?
indieWire
Rating: 4/4 --
The rare, humanist beauty of Win Win is that none of its characters is a caricature, none of its plot twists a blatant play for tears or laughs, none of its appeal based on some mythical lowest common denominator.

Washington Post
[H]andled with a deftly light touch....Contributing to the authenticity is the top-notch ensemble cast, especially the lead performances of Giamatti and Amy Ryan.
USA Today
Rating: 4/5 --
Trying to please a crowd needn't be a shameful business. Tom McCarthy makes light comedies that notice the goodness and hospitality in unlikely people, yet stop short of sentimentalising them.
