Sugar

Posted on May 23, 2012May 8, 2022 by Village Vidiot

“Sugar,” 23 June 2012, DVD.  OK. baseball film about a 20-yo Dominincan kid Miguel “Sugar” Santos who tries to make it from the DR to the bigs. He falls apart in Iowa and flees to New York. Slow and sad film about this kid losing faith in himself and perhaps desire to do this. His decline isn’t really clearly explained. Lives chewed up by the American baseball machine. The pacing doesn’t quite work for me. I’d like a bit more edge.
