Critics Consensus

An intimate portrait of the awe-inspiring Richard Turner, Dealt produces a royal flush with its compelling subject and some storytelling sleight of hand.

This is a movie that has lots of magic, in more ways than one.

3/5

"What he does with cards, a magician can't do," says [Turner's] son and stage manager Asa Spades Turner. Director Luke Korem's documentary proves the lad's point.

[T]he way that it introduces its subject, follows him through a turning point in his life, and conveys it all with a purposeful cinematicity just begs to be unpacked.

A moving account of a family overcoming disability as well as a kind of advocacy piece for the nationwide legalization of gambling.

3 & 1/4 stars. Two levels in this flick. The amazing slight of hand and the late term growth of a blind man.

'Dealt' makes a big reveal early, but the charisma of Richard Turner, a world renowned card mechanic, makes this worthy of a watch. Whether you're a fan of documentary films, or poker or magic, there's something for you, which is a fun central figure and a fantastic story. Illusion is something that captivates the mind and this movie captivates the soul. Hubby: 9.2/Wife: 7.9 Average: 8.6/10
