Grear Patterson's writing-directing debut is a Southern coming-of-age drama revolving around a pair of small-town high school baseball players.
A formally assured, dramatically wobbly coming-of-ager about golden-limbed teens playing ball, sexing it up and generally having lots of feelings,marks a head-scratcher of a debut from New York mixed media artist Grear Patterson.
Sweet-natured, open-faced Bobby is a local hero thanks to his status as his school team’s star pitcher. Life off the field is less glorious: He lives in a tiny, ramshackle house with a hard-boozing father who spends his days on the couch sleeping off hangovers. Bobby’s less gifted teammate Adam , the son of their brutish coach , has a crush on Caroline , who appears to like both boys.
At times, Patterson and DP Hunter Zimny veer into an arty prettiness that can feel empty and derivative; there are a few too many doleful facial close-ups and shots of leaves fluttering in the breeze as a chorus of crickets croon in the background.
