Crystal Reed and Mike Faist in Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game (2022)

Review by brettkdobbs

Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

9/10

A Masterpiece of Undersized Proportions

Make no mistake, this is a small movie. Little known actors, writers, and directors. But what they produced is a masterpiece of storytelling that is memorable and, most importantly, fun to watch.

This is not just a movie about pinball, you probably expected to read that. It is a movie about life. It is a tight hour and a half runtime, so it doesn't waste a minute. The actors all delivered unexpectedly genuine performances and the script is smart. The story is predictable and so is the ending, but the storytelling and acting is so well done and funny that I might watch it again, later today.

This is is the kind of movie you watch when you need a little nudge, when you're a little stuck. It's a an entertaining reminder that we control our choices and to have fun with that fact.
