The Sac Fly (2015)
Touching, irritating, and sadly relevant

I'll start with saying that I liked it. I really did. It was touching, irritating, and sadly relevant.
To echo Deb Longua's review, the racist banter was indeed uncomfortable and jarring, perhaps because I still hear it sometimes and wish I didn't. It was a bit heavy-handed at first, but was thankfully balanced out by the comments and actions of the nephew and the son of both shop owners.
I felt that the overall message makes it clear that we're all in this together; we all play a part. It's not just a black issue or a white issue: it's a people issue. It's shades of gray. And just like the baseball reference, what we do should be for the good of the team.
Well done, Mr. Williams. Well done, cast.
