"Win-Win"

Randi 2021-12-26 08:01:16

A small production film that is calm but mixed. Thomas McCarthy continues the warm and rational heart of "Uninvited Guest" and "Mind Station".

A not-so-simple common people's story, although there is an incredible place, but as the protagonist himself said, many times the development of things is indeed not imagined.

The family responsibilities in the middle-age crisis and the support of problem families are cleverly built in a slightly inspirational sports story. There are no redundant parts, and the characterization is also authentic and credible.

If you are looking for shortcomings, it may be the so-called strength, but this kind of subject matter feels right.
