It's hard to give something 10 stars because nothing is ever really perfect. But some come so close anything less is dishonest.
I was hesitant when I first heard of this. It felt like it was going to be another long-shot sports story. Don't get me wrong. Those stories aren't bad but they've been done and I had no reason to expect anything fresh on this take. Happy to be wrong.
The story didn't take the 100% predictable turn. At least not for me. It was powerful in its realistic simplicity.
I've watched it several times now and the desire to "skip to the good parts" is there but then you realize they're all good parts.
The characters are real. They have talents but are flawed. In today's world it's the norm to make the protagonists so perfect that there is no triumph, no risk, and no real investment. Fortunately, Nothing Is Impossible stuck with the tire and true form of story telling. They got us invested in who these people are, where they came from, their strengths and weaknesses, their failings and their courage.
This is what good storytelling is. People are inspired to reevaluate their own lives even in relation to this fictional story because even in the fiction there is relatable truth.
The cast and crew did an amazing job. Definitely going in my top favorite movies.
