Not one of the more enjoyable Soderbergh films. It can feel a bit boring if you aren’t fully invested in the premise.
It tells the story of one the worst points in professional basketball so elegantly. Great acting all round.
It’s fun, twisty, and breezy. Easy to recommend, but not gonna change your life.
I’d have probably enjoyed more if I were a basketball fan
Very good insight into the world of basketball. Loved it!
While I do appreciate the cinematography and storytelling. I just couldn’t really get into it
Disappointed. It was filmed on an iPhone and looked like it. Felt it was kind of cheesy too.
Soderbergh pulls off a risky narrative that could easily have fallen flat. The cinematography, dialogue and performances all shine.
Soderbergh can make a better movie with an iPhone 7 than I could make with every bit of high end film equipment available to me.
I wasn’t all that enraptured by the framing of scenes and the story didn’t particularly interest me either.
