The Long Game

"Director Quintana and his cast never lack for energy and a convincing sense of purpose (...) 'The Long Game' acknowledges the complexities of the Mustangs' story" 

"'The Long Game' is perfectly serviceable as a sports flick about an inspiring all-American team, but that's all that it is: it's fine. There's little to write home about and it feels like a case of unfulfilled potential" 

"While a more ambitious film might have used its tropes to leverage this tale into a richer account of Latino assimilation, this one is simply content to let its characters win on somebody else’s terms (...) This light and breezy movie doesn’t have a clear opinion on the subject" 

"It's not about golf but about dedication, resilience, and the joy of finding you can do better than your dreams (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"If the palpable camaraderie is the bones of the story, the poignant and realistic dialogue is the film's heartbeat (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"An utterly predictable yet thoroughly engaging period drama" 

"[It] transcends its clichés by being true to its characters and artistic in its approach" 

"'The Long Game' uplifts the audience but doesn't shy away from reality (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
