San Francisco Chronicle
It's too much feel-good movie to take in one sitting, but Stroke of Genius captures just enough detail from the greatest sportsman you've never heard of to keep the historical drama interesting. Full Review

Variety
This exceedingly long-winded but classy drama could appeal to the same strain of infrequent, regional moviegoers looking for righteous entertainment that flocked to "The Passion of the Christ." Full Review

Even the staunchest of golfheads must know they're watching a cut-and-trite accounting. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter
The film becomes markedly more entertaining with every appearance by Walter Hagen (Jeremy Northam), Jones' archrival, a raconteur and bon vivant who, though fiercely competitive, enjoyed playing while drunk and clad in a tuxedo. Full Review

Los Angeles Times
Marred by a flat, conservative script and an overreliance on the tried and true. It feels like a movie we've seen before.
