Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and people who like stories about real, flawed people. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. A good follow-up to Hoosiers.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The story of Lou Marchesi, a down-and-out professional pool player, who's life begins to disintegrate through his association with the beautiful and sophisticated Sylvia, who refuses to understand or accept his way of life.
