	Media	Author	Review
		Ron Wertheimer The New York Times	"This film is about more than a broken record. It's about a broken heart. Watch it, and yours may break, too."
		Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"Billy Crystal's '61★' gets the little things right, even if they're big things"
		Nathan Rabin AV Club	"What begins as a lively, vibrant evocation of one of baseball's greatest seasons ends as a frustratingly conventional tale of sports heroism"
		Tim Goodman SFGATE	"The magic that comes from a great baseball film can be felt in '61'"
		David Nusair Reel Film	"'61★' feels authentic (...) A movie worth checking out - if only for the incredibly detailed presentation of the time period and two superb performances (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
