Sugar

Sugar is worth seeing not because it invalidates baseball's meritocracy, or because it makes us feel guilty for enjoying the national pastime, but because it shows us with empathy and insight how baseball players are more than what they do on the field.

Sugar's personal achievement is uplifting-and it's also cause for celebration when artists create just for the love of the game.

This captures many moving moments and atmospheres in the diverse settings, bu the narrative arc isn't quite as engaging as it could be.

Heartwarming and heartbreaking, Sugar is a poignant film about the realities of pursuing a goal.
