It's a beautiful film. It's everything a movie like this should be. It's exactly how I wanted this movie to be. Ben Affleck is just amazing. He is amazingly talented, and looks like he is living it rather than acting. You just feel his pain in your bones! The close up camera shots, the rhythm, the pace, and just about everything about the movie is so freaking awesome. And to top it all, the background score just binds it all in and brings it all together. And I just love it how they bear in mind to not make it about the basketball, but about "the way back". Hats off to the director, and a BIG round of applause to Ben Affleck!
