Andrew Barker Variety 06/08/2014
An amiable if hopelessly scattered documentary about the significance of 'the ball' as both concept and object. Go to Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 06/06/2014
The film is certainly interesting, despite the fact that it's a glorified promotional video for Muniz's installations. Go to Full Review Nicole Herrington New York Times 06/05/2014
While the first third is promising ... the subsequent hour is scattershot. Go to Full Review Travis M. Andrews Paste Magazine 06/12/2014
6.2/10
