The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Wonderful, hilarious documentary.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The big laughs here come from the subjects' self-absorption.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Directed by Seth Gordon, the film illuminates and draws you into a subculture you never knew existed and makes you genuinely care about its characters.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Nerds rule.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
It's almost embarrassing how compelling this film becomes...
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
A gripping yarn, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, as well as a mocking insider's view and a genuine giggle.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A documentary that is beyond strange.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
A pretty great trip down memory lane, even if you were one of the cool kids who managed to avoid the arcade scene.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Benefits immeasurably from a cast of colorful supporting players, as well as a taut narrative that builds to a surprisingly tense climax.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The King of Kong is as winning, sweet, and occasionally disturbing a documentary about people for whom time has stopped somewhere around 1982 as you'd ever want to see.
Chicago Tribune
Scott Schueller
Take maniacal classic video game champion Billy Mitchell, questionable video game world-record organization Twin Galaxies and unemployed dad Steve Wiebe vying to usurp the champ and you've got a great story.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Is there anything more tiresome than watching people play video games? Seth Gordon's documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters answers that question with a decisive yes: watching a movie about people playing video games.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
A classic video-arcade game becomes the means of an epic struggle in this funny, surprisingly poignant video documentary.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
One of the most fascinating films of the year, and it deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Not since 300 have I seen such manly mano-a-manoing as the iron clash of wills in the documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
Gordon finds a way to take these relatively normal guys and their simple quest to be the best at something and turns it into a conflict for the ages.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Heartbreaking and hilarious...
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
The movie's Rocky formula proves irresistible.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
The film keeps up a dramatic pace but it never loses sight of the personal stories.
Denver Post
With the results up in the air until the very end of the film, you will care who wins the goofy contest.
