- 88Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversThis movie wins you over, head and heart, without cheating. It's just about perfect.
- 83Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWin Win, it turns out, isn't a tale of facile victory. It's a movie about how loss makes everyone do things they'll both defend and regret.
- Think "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Little Miss Sunshine." In many ways, Win Win fits that mold, which should make it McCarthy's most broadly appealing movie to date.
- 80Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranPure pleasure to experience. Written and directed by Tom McCarthy with an impeccable feel for off-center human comedy at its funniest and most heartfelt, its low-key qualities are so relaxed and unforced every moment feels like a gift.
- 75The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonWin Win is less quirky than "The Station Agent" and less soulful (and political) than "The Visitor," but it still does little to buck the trend.
- 60Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfNo matter how predictable his arc is, writer-director Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent) never loses sight of the difficulties of cashflow and making one's weekly nut. You'll want to give his movie-and his secret weapon, the lovably neurotic Bobby Cannavale, as a recent divorcé hoping to co-coach the team-a pass for sweetness.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceA "quirky" dramedy in the "Juno"/"Little Miss Sunshine" mode, but lacking the latter's vibrant ensemble and the former's snappy patter, Win Win is indie with the edges sanded down completely.
