No No: A Dockumentary

What really distinguishes this... is its candid-and surprisingly flippant-treatment of widespread drug use in major league baseball.

Radice does an honorable if not always scintillating job of paying tribute to a great team and a player with a phenomenal slider, whose politics and personal style pushed the sport's most racially ingrained boundaries.

While the film's sense of chronology is at times strained and its tale of redemption hardly unique, its subject is certainly one of a kind.

Even the title of Jeffrey Radice's portrait of a fabulous eccentric is a tad inside baseball.
