Not really plot spoilers, but i do talk about how they show some of the plot.
I was lucky enough to catch this movie while it was on the limited run (nov 2nd). It was on par with other great sports movies, or I should say deliver a total knock out to those other 'underdog' movies. But this film is more then just another run of mill story. From the very opening scene I know I was in for something special. The story is touching and watching the day to day issues was inspiring. I really enjoyed the use of muted sounds, no sound at all, and complete true audio. The captions were used for not only the normal use (helping get the spoken and signed language to those who did know) but also helped move the story along. I am wishing for a longer run, or a DVD release. Of course now all of the people in my Deaf Communication Studies classes want to see the film.
Well acted, perfectly directed!
