Atom User Reviews for The Long Game
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.…
must see movie. Showing what us Hispanics see today, back then and will continue to see for generations. always defying all odds this group of young golfers learned that in life nothing is ever fair especially with a Mexican background..
A struggle that I can relate to.
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.
must see.

More people should see this movie. It’s inspiring for all Hispanics out there.
Unique movie show preserverance towards modern of the 40s-and 50 with segregation of Hispanic differences and also whites folks in the early day

Great movie
Racism is a dirty thing. Great story of overcoming.
All lives matter not just one race. Let me see the challenges, how divided people are. We are all from one God. I love true stories. Had a very good ending. Made me emotional. Very well done.
Good movie
Based on a true story this movie adds to the inspirational sports movie genre. Knowing the history of the US South this film had you rooting for the underdog even though we knew the team wouldn’t be accepted. Plenty of jokes thrown in to always lighten a serious moment.…
great movie from start to finish, really captured the racism and reality of life back then.
Another great true story and piece of history that needs to be told. This movie was very well done, however there were a couple of swear words that didn't need to be there. Hopefully, these family friendly movies will not incorporate any more foul language that is not…
Great true story. McFarland, USA but with golf.
Great to see diverse stories being told. Great cast with lots of heart. Storytelling wasn't as impactful. Should've provided more details on the team & their historic run vs underdeveloped side storylines.
Such a sad example of racial injustice and great performance to demonstrate how dedication and perseverance make a difference. Thank you for bringing this to light. America needs to do better!
A must see for Mexican Americans. There is a very strong message about overcoming unwarranted racist attacks. Si se puede!
decent movie based on an interesting true story
Metacritic
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.
