I agree, it's a shame. It is a fanatsic movie.

It truly is a gem.

Those who saw it did, but it should have got more critical appraisal than what I saw around. I assume some didn't even check it out.

[love on the brain]

Because it was foreign? The greatest films are foreign!

[wickedrum]

how is it foreign?

[love on the brain]

Based on non American icons, I guess?

[wickedrum]

Ah, that.

[Hawthorn]

I think movies about sport in general are overlooked compared to others - Moneyball was an exception a few years ago, plus baseball is a big deal in US.

[Hawthorn]

Did you manage to see any scene at all?

I haven't even seen Moneyball or care about baseball

[Hawthorn]

I don't care about baseball, but LOVED Moneyball! Give it a try if you ever stumble upon it. I've seen it four or five times.

[love on the brain]

Okay! I trust you because I know you have great taste

[Hawthorn]

You only say that because a lot of kinks in common.

Brad Pitt being one of them?

[Hawthorn]

I like Brad, but don't think he's that great of an actor, and yet I really liked what he did in Moneyball.
Chris Pratt is in the film, too. /random
