Stano (2019)
A Touching Redemption Story
A great story about redemption, centered around the love of Baseball. Thoughtful if slow moving at times, but filled with very believable portrayals of guilt, regret, and the very bleak and hard challenges of starting over in adversity. This story could have used any profession or life-dream as its focus but in this case chose what is probably very relatable to many. Even if you never desired to be in the Big Leagues of any sport, you probably played baseball during PE in school. And everyone can relate to aspiring to greatness, and yet for most that "big break" never happens. Now imagine the worst--you are the cause of your dream going south and because of your poor judgment, others lives are also irrevocably changed forever as well. Coming back from ALL that with grace, is this touching movie. Well played, well directed, and greatly enjoyed!
The Upside (2017)
Funny, heartwarming, and highly entertaining
Great story and great performances by Hart and Cranston in this very touching true story. It is a shame that this movie is being compared to the French version as our cultures are SO DIFFERENT and culture plays such a huge part of this story.
