	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A fresh take would have helped. But Marc Abraham, in his directing debut, proceeds with a timid TV approach. Luckily, Kinnear ignores the "caution" signs. (...) Kearns' conflict is readable in Kinnear's every word and gesture. His performance is worth cheering. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."
		Ty Burr Boston Globe	"The problem with Flash of Genius isn't that the subject is dull but that the movie is."
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"It has the tone and texture of a well-made but forgettable television movie."
