There's nothing in this movie that is out of place. Every dark joke, awkward interaction or creepy encounter makes sense. You feel all the characters alive. None of them feel as if they're following a script, but rather just expressing themselves in a given situation.

There's many points where you might think that nowadays nobody would behave like that or say things like that and you would be right. This is the era before the internet, before all the phones and the politically correctness - an unhinged world but still in the limits of love and passion.

Loved every bit of it. What I learned from this movie is that if you have a passion, you should be as bold as possible and make it happen.

Also, I love how Mitchell really isn't the bad guy in all of this hahaha. It's just so so so amazing how they were able to portray such an amazing thing.

Could not have imagined a better actor to play the MC. Cage does a phenomenal job portraying the inner workings of the main character in such a way that everything that happens towards the middle and end of the movie just makes sense. There is no sense of "WHY?" that you feel as a viewer, but rather empathy.

I viewed the whole thing as an analogy to cancel culture and this feeling that we can have as people when others dislike us for reasons that are only alive in their own head.

You can deffo see this is an A24 movie. The editing is just so good with attention to small details in a way that pleases your eyes and makes you smile from now and then (if you're the type to appreciate small details).

Highly recommend to anyone that likes political movies told through surrealism.

P. S. I wonder what everyone would have dreamt if he were to do other thing. A beautiful concept to explore as an artist.

Have admired Curry for this ability to shoot 3 pointers, apparently, without a miss. I always thought he had a more generic background, but I never knew that he was this short and that everyone overlooked him as he was on the come up.

Loved the pacing of the movie and how it was cut between the present and the past. I think they did an amazing job portraying the feeling of what they have felt back then and how Curry feels now in the present.

Loved the movie front to back and I feel it has woken inside of me a joy I did not have before for basketball.

Another thing I really admire which we do not have in Romania towards basketball (or any other sport in High School and College) is just how united is the community in the city and how supportive everyone is of the players. Really inspiring.
