Sora

About This Movie

Sora dives into the chaotic world of a high school hothead with dreams of basketball stardom. The atmosphere has that raw, gritty feel, almost like the intensity of a pick-up game on a summer afternoon. It's not just about hoops; it’s about the struggle, the friendships, and the pressure of expectations. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but that mirrors the breathless energy of youth. The performances are genuine, capturing that restless spirit of adolescence, though the director remains a mystery. There’s something refreshing about its approach to themes like ambition and regret, making it distinctive in a landscape filled with formulaic narratives. The practical effects, especially in the basketball scenes, add a layer of authenticity that’s often missing in today's CGI-laden films.
