Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 10/11/2018
Kelly gets a well-earned leading man turn in the amiable indie comedy-drama "All Square" playing a surly, but likable bookie in a small Maryland town. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 10/11/2018
Kelly is a king among mordant underplayers. Yulin, a stalwart character actor, is reliably terrific. Adlon and Josh Lucas bring added value to their also-familiar characters. Go to Full Review Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter 09/20/2018
Handled with unobtrusive professionalism in all departments, the film benefits greatly from Brady's novelistic attention to character and milieu. Go to Full Review Matthew Passantino Film Threat 11/27/2018
5/10
By the time John's inevitable redemptive arc comes around, it feels like we've witnessed All Square many times before. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 10/19/2018
The offbeat concept finds a balance of humor and sentiment, while Kelly generates sympathy for a morally conflicted loner. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 10/11/2018
B-
It's not a forceful picture, lacking urgency at times when trauma enters the story, but it's solid work with divine cinematic inspiration. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/19/2020 This hit so close to home . Loved it . I saw so many people I know in each and everyone of these characters. 4.3. Acting and believability (even with sci fi as long as if the circumstances we as it - I’d believe it to be that way) are two of my top end qualifiers on rating a movie. Both near perfection here . I recommend for anyone who has ever placed any action on a sporting event . So good old fashioned dry humor See more 12/20/2019 Funny, real life scenarios with an edge that appeals to a wide audience! Endearing relationship between main character and young boy as they develop a friendship that benefits both of their emotional growth. See more 02/21/2019 A great young talent in this one to keep your eye out for. Overall fun film. See more 02/13/2019 Loved this film when I caught it at the Sunscreen film festival. Jesse Ray Sheps is a force in this film, and a young talented actor to keep your eye on. See more rick j 12/03/2018 Great cast, pity they didn't have a better script. Implausible, main character acts like a kid, befriends a 12yr old that acts like a sage. All the resources there to create a great movie. The cinematography, acting, direction, repeat wonderful cast, but alas,, not on the page. See more 11/15/2018 Loved this movie. Clever, engaging, funny, warm, really not the usual but 100% entertaining. Great cast. Michael Kelly is instantly endearing, even though a sad sack. The relationship between his character and the kid is fantastic and believable. Loved this movie! See more Read all reviews
