The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe; you really feel the weight of his experiences. The performances are genuinely heartfelt, especially in the way they portray the relationships he built over the years. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t detract from the emotional depth. This isn’t just a sports biopic; it’s about a life lived for others, and that makes it stand out.
