Review of Sugar (2008) by Jeff T — 10 Apr 2009
If you saw HALF NELSON you know what Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are capable of. If you didn't, see SUGAR. If you did, see SUGAR. They have the incredibly rare ability to confound expectations on a scene-by-scene basis and tell a large story on a small canvas.
This baseball movie has nothing to do wth baseball, really. It might be about the dream to belong, or the lure of the tarnished American dream, or how you look to somebody who is not you (or like you) at all.
Or it might just be about baseball. But it's defnitely worth the trip.
