      Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups Echoes of Norman Rockwell bounce off The Hill, a sincere, inspiring baseball movie grounded in a complicated father-son relationship. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2023 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com When it's not wrestling (however nicely) with spiritual matters, "The Hill" is a well-meaning but dutiful trudge toward an ordained destination. Rated: 2/4 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List While the movie has its cliches and missteps... that central generational struggle is as old as the Bible (and “The Jazz Singer”) and still dramatically compelling. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Raven Brunner Decider The movie’s story is cliché and rather preachy, but it isn’t bad. Rickey’s story is important and engaging… whenever viewers aren’t being weighed down by the pastor’s repetitive prejudice against his family and community. Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Jason Fraley WTOP (Washington, D.C.) As the stadium lights fade on a reconciled father and son like “Field of Dreams,” you can’t help but smile. Yes, it’s a “perfect” Hollywood ending, but call me a sucker for inspirational sports flicks. Turn off your brain and tap into your heart. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times A true hero story. The fact that it's a little too long clearly hasn't bothered audiences. Didn't bother me either. Good family watch. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
