United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Wind sometimes dawdles, but it’s a sports movie with soul." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "'Wind' is not commonplace movie making. The sailing sequences, including one short, very funny race off Newport involving the kind of small boats you and I might sail, surpass anything I've ever seen on the screen." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "A vigorous and colorful piece of filmmaking that never quite shakes free of an embarrassingly trite, formulaic screenplay." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Ballard has infused 'Wind' with an old-fashioned romantic sentimentality that is affecting from time to time. But this and everything else that is good about the picture fights an ultimately losing battle against an inept story" | NEU |
United States | SFGATE | "'Wind' succeeds in turning the competition into one that is intense, pictorially compelling and intelligible in terms of basic racing maneuvers | POS |
United States | Variety | "The elements prove far more stimulating than the people in 'Wind', a sail-racing saga that could have used a great deal more dramatic rigging." | NEG |
United States | Boston Globe | "'Wind' is quite content to keep things at the visual and visceral level, and on that unambitious but highly photogenic plane it's a handsome piece of salt-water escapism." | POS |
