Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott

After a while the humorless solemnity of The Rocket stifles any interesting sense of Maurice Richard as a character. The hockey sequences are nicely done, though, and give a reasonably good sense of what a great player he was. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Boasts dazzling hockey action, but its off-ice piousness makes for tough sledding for non-Canucks. Read full review

Nick Pinkerton
