Like a good pitcher, Trevor Morgan varies his emotions and perfectly grooves his role as the high-school star. Huffing and puffing, Nolte plops around with brilliant finesse, smartly exposing this frustrated old ballplayer's inside strength and fears.Full Review

Sucking at the top of many a can, and greedily slurping the sides of an overflowing bottle, Nolte gives a master class in how to drink a beer on screen. The rest of his work here is sad, understated, and worth seeking out.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Off the Black is a small, dry, emotionally loaded short story that has been carried to film like baked fish to a platter.Full Review

There's nothing too small about Nolte's performance. He's the perfect companion for a rookie feature film director looking to make a good first impression.Full Review
