Spare Parts

Though based on a Wired magazine story, this sticks closely to the formulas of inspirational-teacher and sports-team dramas; distinguishing it from the pack is the fact that all four students who formed the club were undocumented.

The film refreshingly portrays its kids as part of a diverse group trying to succeed in a country in which they can never find secure footing.

Sequences and scenes end unceremoniously, everyone in the movie seems to know each other's backstory before they're properly introduced, and mild jokes land with uncertainty.

It's a positive story, filled to the brim with love, fun, and cultural pride.
