- festac7718 July 2025Amazing and under appreciated gem. This movie should have universal acclaim.
- Kevin Ward1 July 2025The tried and true inspirational underdog sports biopic formula actually wasn’t working for me at first. A surprise, because I usually eat that up and I had been looking forward to this one for a while. Thankfully, it’s when the film veers from the formula and explores what life is like after the triumph that this film started to take off. Written by Barry Jenkins, I should have expected to be treated to more than a standard sports biopic. Rachel Morrison gives a strong directorial debut effort in a film that explores what happens when American Dreams meets the realities of socio-economic, and gender divide. Both Ryan Destiny and Brian Tyree Henry are excellent in this inspiring true story. Worth checking out.
