	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Luke Korem's documentary is a fascinating portrait of a blind card mechanic."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An engaging disability-centric doc whose appeal for magic buffs is overshadowed by an inspirational focus"	POS
United States	Monica Castillo The New York Times	"Such a dynamic personality as Mr. Turner’s could use a more dynamic documentary to illuminate it. As it is, 'Dealt' remains a pleasing — if inoffensive — portrait."	NEU
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"Richard Turner is a charismatic subject who demands more than a conventionally entertaining documentary (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Gary Garrison The Playlist	"A rather charming film (...) A generally rounded film that disappears behind the larger than life personality at its core, a height few films manage to reach"	POS
