    Captivated by the sparseness of it all. Every frame contains exactly what needs to be there and nothing more.

    Felt like the most JG Ballard thing ever not adapted from JG Ballard. Particularly the middle section.

    Lot of people dragging Yorgos after this one. I think that's by design. This movie is a filter. Yorgos babes I'm still here you keep doing you

    ★★½

    Biggest problem here is Fassbender is miscast for a movie like this. What this part needs is a guy who is still a screen presence you want to root for when he's yelling, and Fassbender's whole energy is too intense and scary for that. The infamous deadnaming scene, which in context is clearly supposed to read as "ignorant asshole who's out of his depth," instead comes across as "is this man about to do a hate crime" which is just tonally at odds with what a goofy underdog sports movie is trying to do. And that fundamental awkwardness kind of hangs over the whole thing unfortunately.

    It's so taken for granted how sad this movie is that I feel it doesn't get enough credit for being fucking funny as hell. Likewise, so much ink has been spilt on the incredible sets that I feel the need to speak up for how gorgeous the little location work is.
