Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's (Half Nelson) new film tells the dramatically perfect — no clichés here — story of a 19-year-old Dominican baseball pitcher trying to make it. An example of humanist filmmaking at its best, it stars newcomer Algenis Perez Soto as Sugar — lacking in English, stuck in small-town America and chasing a dream.
