For a film at least partially about magic (and, "science-magic"), it lacks a decided bit of that necessary misdirection, and the proceedings are often predictable. Sleight is, well, slight.

Director by J.D. Dillard brings this under-the-radar drama close to genre cliches but deftly avoids them with his strong characters, fine storytelling, and vivid atmosphere.
April 28, 2017
The film lives and dies by Latimore's performance, which is quiet and ever-shifting.
April 29, 2017
A street magician with a magnetic personality baffles spectators in a reasonably entertaining naturalistic drama.

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.

Sleight's payoff and take home messages are good enough to mostly forgive its glaring flaws.
May 04, 2017
Sleight... is a minor film with major virtues: tenderness, imagination, and a strong grasp of character and setting.
May 04, 2017
There's more going on here than meets the eye, but Sleight's sleeveless heart beats true and conjures its characters to wild life.
April 27, 2017
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.
May 03, 2017
Overly familiar drug-dealer-wants-to-get-out plot saddled with a scientifically insupportable gimmick as its solution.

[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.

Dillard's not interested in the Zing! Pow! Bam! Sleight is quiet, almost naturalistic, even when Bo is stopping bullets with his bare hand.
