	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"[Bollettieri] is quite the schmoozer, which gives Kohn (...) plenty to work with in creating this sharp portrait of a singular sports personality."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"As a piece of tennis lore, 'Love Means Zero' is absolutely vital. As a character study about a professional tyrant, it’s almost as frail and leathery as Bollettieri himself."	NEU
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"Coach Nick Bollettieri holds court in a frustrating match against director Jason Kohn (...) Kohn does his best to make this a movie that doesn’t need the absent Agassi"	NEU
United States	Joe McGovern Entertainment Weekly	"Excellent (...) An incisive, colorful portrait"	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"This extraordinary portrait ends up only peripherally being about the sport and all about the art of burning bridges."	POS
