This was good and Affleck is VERY good in this. The aspects of basketball aren't very well handled but it nails the emotional aspects.

Affleck was phenomenal in this. The movie itself isn't all that great even though I did like the supporting cast a lot, especially the kids, but damn does his performance alone elevate it and I have to respect him even more now for being so willing to tackle such dark and personal material. Gavin O' Connor is such an underrated and underappreciated director, because when you give him the right movie he usually always delivers and that's no different here.

This wasn't particularly great for me, the story is not really unpredictable, but damn, a great performance from Affleck and the film just got me emotional a few times at the end. All in all a very good drama.
