[Latimore] has a magnetic screen presence mixed with a down-to-Earth directness. And while he's got swagger for days, he's just as compelling when his character is quietly contemplating his next move.
Emily Yoshida
The film lives and dies by Latimore's performance, which is quiet and ever-shifting.
Peter Debruge
Dillard's feature debut squanders its high concept ... and serves up a low-rent, Nickelodeon-lite version of that story, blowing his chance with corny acting, paint-by-numbers plotting, and a dippy score.
Robert Abele
A tight tale well-told, with an appealing hero, a direct route to satisfaction, and the ever-present sense that the merest turn toward stylistic extravagance or adventure frippery would sink it.
Amy Nicholson
Dillard's not interested in the Zing! Pow! Bam! Sleight is quiet, almost naturalistic, even when Bo is stopping bullets with his bare hand.
Sandy Cohen
Sleight succeeds with its creation of a modern quasi-superhero in Bo and the launching of an electric new leading man in Latimore.
Richard Roeper
Like Moonlight and Get Out, this is a non-traditional, multi-genre film with impressive cinematography, a smart screenplay with some creative twists - and brilliant performances from the lead players.
Darren Franich
It ... becomes a weirdly expository melodrama.
Rafer Guzman
An unlikely superhero origin story, executed with the style, themes and budget of independent cinema.
