9/10
detractors could observe their own expectations.
12 February 2007
seems to me that the busters should examine their own expectations. is this a poor film because you expected or wanted more "highlights"? is this film poor because you didn't get enough personal biography? i felt it, too - kept wanting the camera to pan out, to give me/us a bigger picture of what was going on on the field, to use the game's given drama and easy narrative more lazily and/or to replay the so-called highlights. and i'm sure the filmmakers were aware of the probability of such expectations. and they played with them.

this film had me questioning the subject matter and had me questioning my expectations and questions.

the visual and sound editing is, at times, a wonder of achievement. i want to see this film a few more times.

i'm glad i was able to see it in a theater and with good sound quality, at least for the first viewing.

nice film.
