  • “Mardenborough's sto­ry is remarkable, and it is extremely well toldhere. Even viewers who don't like video games will want to break out thechampagne for "Gran Turismo.” The film is a winner." – Gary M.Kramer (Salon.com)
  • “The lanky Madekwe is an appealing hero, one might say an avatar forus in the audience. And director Neil Blomkamp does a terrific job of makingJann’s time at the console seem “real” and the real racetrack align withthe sim.” – Nell Minow (Movie Mom)
  • “The film is at least one argument against parents who yell at theirchildren that all that time spent playing video games won't lead to anything inthe real world.” – Adam Graham (Detroit News)
