Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Sprinter is a movie that leaves virtually no sporting cliche unbothered, yet it's rooted in a naturalistic, emotional family drama reflecting the specific pleasures and perils of life in Jamaica.

Los Angeles Times
The film does a great job in balancing the tone with many dramatic moments, while still preserving comedic elements that are very much a staple of people's day-to-day lives.

Rating: 3/4 --
Plot threads play out in mostly expected ways. But Saulter elevates the material through the specificity of its Jamaican context.

Rating: Big Screen Watch --
It's not a perfect film, but it's an entertaining, thoughtful, and thought-provoking one. One that ought to be seen on the big screen.
