Review of McFarland, USA (2015) by Tracey C — 20 Feb 2015
'McFarland USA' is Kevin Costner's best movie in ages after a rough past few movies. The always wonderful Niki Caro directs another winner! She is the best at telling an effectively natural story that entertains us every step of the way.
Kevin Costner has one of his most vulnerable roles and the kids, all unknown actors, support him wonderfully. This true life story captures the feel of a small town realistically. McFarland refreshingly looks like it is stuck in the 50s and the story choked me up more than once.
Like 'Miracle' and 'Cool Runnings', Disney is a master at producing these unconventional sports dramas. This is one of my favorites along side 'Miracle'.
