    Being of Puerto Rican descent, my dad told me of the discrimination he faced growing up on the streets of New York City. So this movie hit home for me. Also as a fan of golf since I was young I wondered how Lee Trevino felt growing up and developing his game in that Era.…

    Inspirational true story of Latino golfers in the 1950s. Quite an amazing tale of racism and success despite the obstacles. The film has some minor glitches, but the story is terrific. Worth watching for sure.

For this team and their coach, the long game is about whatever it takes to play and get on track to a championship, even if that means smiling at insults and swallowing their pride when the competition cheats. Ultimately, though, it's not about golf but about dedication, resilience, and the joy of finding you can do better than your dreams.

The Long Game doesn’t push itself far enough, but ultimately, it successfully and truthfully tells the story it set out to tell and has fun along the way.

The Long Game is determined to ape the tropes of a feel-good sports drama, but only as a means to an end, and its struggle to balance the demands of the genre with the deeper concerns underpinning this story ultimately stops either side of that equation from going the distance.
