With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who get choked up at a comeback and people who love a true story told well. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The spectacle of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro is grimly contrasted with the poverty of those living mere blocks away from where much of the televised action is broadcast.
