La Méthode Williams

Smith is excellent, fully inhabiting the character...

It hits the beats you’d want but without falling into cliché, with warmth baked in so much that you’re swept along...

...manages to be both a surprisingly nuanced portrait of a flawed and deeply complicated man and the kind of classic-uplift sports movie that used to fill multiplexes once upon a time.

...a strong, confident picture with winning performances from Sidney and Singleton.
