For fans of DeLillo, Keaton and/or either team in that classic Series, this curious little picture is worth tracking down.

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.

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

... a quirky little comedy ...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 28, 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

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

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.

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 23, 2006

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).

| Original Score: B- | Mar 23, 2006

It's one of the best films of the young year.

The movie includes a recurring motif of immigrant taxi drivers -- like them, the movie is constantly going around in circles.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 10, 2006

An offbeat, not-quite-successful paranoid comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2006

To put it in words a Sox fan would understand, the movie hurts good.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 10, 2006

As things drag on, you can ask yourself: which seems longer ago, the days when anyone cared about whether the Red Sox would ever win the series, or the days when a lone theater critic had the clout to terrify Broadway?

Screenwriter DeLillo and director Michael Hoffman have a near-perfect player in Michael Keaton.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 9, 2006

Hoffman makes impressive use of his low budget, thanks to a talented cast, an atmospheric soundtrack by Yo La Tengo, and the general feeling of confidence that a veteran director can bring to a project.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 8, 2006

A gratifying playground of high-wire language.

| Mar 7, 2006

The film labors under the onerous weight of its symbolism.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 6, 2006

A kind of comic variation on the Stations of the Cross transferred to the ordeals of a Gotham playwright, pic feels indifferent and empty.
