United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Funny, warm, and broken-in in all the right ways (...) ends up dealing a surprisingly strong hand."	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a life-on-the-fringes flick in which the goal of going straight (...) looks genuinely appealing."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"There’s much to enjoy about 'Win It All', but not quite enough to push it beyond the basic appeal of the material established early on"	NEU
United States	Kristy Puchko The Playlist	"Joe Swanberg (...) [has] a distinctive talent for infusing dazzling humanity and humor into simple stories"	POS
United States	Michael Agresta Austin Chronicle	"A smooth-edged comedy and an addiction drama (...) While the combination of the two is not always intellectually satisfying (...) Swanberg knows how to work the emotional levers of his audience"	NEU
Ireland	Irish Times	"It’s a lovely film full of heart and soul"	POS
