A rousing and agreeable movie that resurrects a small but important episode in baseball history that parallels the larger history of the nation.

A model of what a largely talking-heads documentary should be, with on-camera testimonials and lots of film clips that offer layers of context.

Aviva Kempner's warm and intelligent mash note to a man who clearly deserved it.

If there's a flaw, it's that Kempner has fashioned more a hagiography than true biography.

Kempner's lighthearted yet not apolitical collage conveys how Greenberg's success as an athlete in the 30s and 40s contradicted an ethnic stereotype.

Simultaneously fascinating and vexing in ways that might tax informed devotees of both baseball and film.
