Game 6 Reviews
...the picture suffers from an arms-length feel that continually prevents the viewer from working up much interest in or enthusiasm for the central characters exploits...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 26, 2022
It's much more than a curiosity, and if any of this description appeals to you, you know it's a movie, regained, that will hold your attention however much a novelist's voice often drives the flow of the picture. That DeLillo kid? He sure shows promise.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 26, 2021
DeLillo, despite the flaws in his first screenplay, shows remarkable promise in writing for the big screen.
| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020
For fans of DeLillo, Keaton and/or either team in that classic Series, this curious little picture is worth tracking down.

Filled with heavy dialogue, Game 6 is a film that feels more appropriate for the stage. That said, it takes on challenging themes and deep thoughts.

For better and worse, this is a fiction writer's movie: the dialogue is admirably precise, yet the restrictive worldview that's so gripping in DeLillo's books seems like mere solipsism on-screen.

The big problem here is one of credibility, on a number of fronts.

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.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 12, 2006
A mediocre to average movie with a stellar performance by Keaton and cerebral themes about failure and fears that stay fuzzy instead of coming into sharp focus.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 6, 2006
Game 6 is ultimately a curious dud, although it makes us anxiously await DeLillo's next time at bat.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 6, 2006
If 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.

... a quirky little comedy ...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 28, 2006
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.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 27, 2006
The Red Sox as fatalistic metaphor is almost a quaint notion now, but Game 6 brings it all back to vivid life.
Full Review | Apr 14, 2006
The thudding, obvious symbolism is the film's biggest concern and its primary problem.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 13, 2006
A very nice and simple film, with clear messages and sparklingly witty dialogue.
| Original Score: B | Apr 10, 2006
DeLillo and company have let one go through their legs.
Full Review | Apr 7, 2006
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 6, 2006
A shaky director, a deadly critic and a losing ball club collide in an entertaining surreal showdown just off Broadway.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 3, 2006
A meditation on American theater and the Great American Pastime that hovers above the surface of reality but never quite takes off, either.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006
