★★★★ review by simplybennett on Letterboxd
Strange and slow, but I couldn't help loving this movie. Interesting commentary on race, high school basketball culture and politics and teenage growing pains. Seemingly superficial but addressing profound issues in compelling ways, if nothing else this film is a fascinating social commentary of some particularly Usamerican institutions and rites of passage.
