	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"However much the movie might have set off to find Steve McQueen, it never gets close to him (...) [It] is an uncool movie in almost every way (...) Nothing in the movie feels quite genuine"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"A likable cast and a fascinating, mostly forgotten story (...) keep the movie engaging, but can't compensate for the waste of a promising premise."	NEU
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"[It] could have used more of the galvanizing spirit of its patron saint, but there's also much to recommend here, in particular its light-hearted energy (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Unfortunately, despite the fascinating story that provides its inspiration and a solid cast, the pic provides neither sufficient thrills nor humor to make it anything more than a minor diversion."	NEG
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Fimmel is perfect in the role (...) You probably won’t love 'Finding Steve McQueen', but that unyielding wholesomeness ensures you won’t be able to hate it either."	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"An entertaining if sometimes overly self-conscious 1970s period piece, bursting with pop culture references (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Gary Thompson Philadelphia Inquirer	"[It downplays] strange-but-true elements that might have helped its saggy narrative (...) The movie’s time-fractured narrative doesn’t help (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"It’s a forgettable film, with a fair few gags that strike a depressingly sexist note (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
