Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Church fully inhabits the character, making the most of Willie’s dented moral sense and his many limitations.
New York Times
By emphasizing the uglier aspects of his most complex character, Lee turns an otherwise down-to-earth slice-of-life drama into an unconvincing morality play.

Village Voice
Mr. Lee, straining, ends up delivering a sentimentalism that undermines Mr. Church's performance and this film's promise.

Rating: 5/10 --
Cardboard Boxer is an underdog fighter that, despite its considerate and often good performances, often finds its punches pulled. It's a shame, too, because it could've been a knockout.

We Got This Covered
Emotionally powerful, unsentimental drama of a homeless man in downtown L.A., built around a subtle and heartbreaking performance by Thomas Haden Church.

Film Journal International
Delivering a fully committed, moving performance, Thomas Haden Church makes you pay attention to a figure you would otherwise pass by without a second thought.

Hollywood Reporter
Gritty authenticity goes up against cloying pathos - with the latter unfortunately emerging victorious - in the skid row drama "Cardboard Boxer."
