This film has so much heart. Every time I watch it, I am on the verge of tears for almost the entire runtime.

The filmmakers are at the top of their game.

Hackman is wonderful as an inarticulate man tense with the struggle to curb a flaring, mysterious anger.

Bobby Knight would not be amused, though Tark the Shark might've had a good laugh at the naive masquerade.

Cloyingly nostalgic.

Superbly evocative, deeply stirring.

This film's very lack of surprise and sophistication accounts for a lot of its considerable charm.

The movie's enormous craftsmanship accumulates till you're actually seduced into believing all its Pepperidge Farm buncombe. That's quite an achievement.

It's a movie that is all heart.
