- Excerpt: High Flying Bird is a masterfully constructed drama that tackles the professional sports business with as much intrigue as a heist movie.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Despite not being invested or all that familiar with the corporate politics behind basketball, Soderbergh’s direction and McCraney’s script kept me effortlessly engaged.

- Excerpt: McCraney’s fast-talking, dialogue-heavy script is married perfectly with Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven pacing and subterfuge because it allows us to realize something is going on without yet fully grasping the logistics.
- Ron Wilkinson @ its just movies
- Excerpt: Clever and subversive, a mutinous plan to upend the NBA.
