Story of a young black high school athlete and the tensions that build up with him to a dramatic act - odd structure means that the climax sorta lands around 60% of the way through the movie and the swerve that follows ends up being, inevitably, anti-climactic. But there's true film-making verve shown here, with committed performances throughougt (okay, maybe Lucas Hedges is the whitest of all white boys when he shows up during the back half of the movie, but he's engaged) and vigorous use of montage and virtiuoso filmmaking. Captures the attention and does not let go, though the back 40% is a bit WTF.
