  Sugar

  by Celluloid_Pete

  This is only a baseball story on the periphery. What this movie is about is self discovery and the difficulty facing anyone adjusting to a new culture, language and country. Very moving with great character analysis and the english sub-titles were not an obstacle to enjoying the movie. Boden and Fleck show they are rising stars in the screenwriter and directoral arena's. Excellent movie!

  Sugar

  by folkpoetry

  An artsy baseball film. Sometimes our dreams lead us to things better than our dreams. Not a classic, but a darn good, little movie.

  Fantastic!!

  by StarWarsLuvr

  Sugar was beautiful, heart-felt, realistic. Loved seeing Miguel "Sugar" Santos' journey, from his days in Dominican Republic in the baseball academy to the US playing in the Minor Leagues. You'll see him struggling with the language barrier and people outside of his culture; finding his own identity as a person while being a "product" for the Minor Baseball League. Compelling and it'll make you wonder how the Major/Minor Baseball Leagues recruit these amazing players, going through the process, promises AND the politics behind it all.
  
  Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden are fantastic with story-telling, dialogue and the care with research (back stories of real life ballplayers) to tell this story so perfectly. And the lead actor (can't remember his name right now) was amazing, considering this is his first acting role. Highly recommended!!

  Interesting Movie

  by tombyrom

  Sugar is a good, not great, movie. It has interesting characters and a plot that reveals a lot about the immigrant experience. A must for baseball fans!

  Not your typical heoric sports story

  by catswig

  If you're a fan of typical sports movies with a happy ending and a protagonist that goes on to hit the game winning shot, win the championship, stage an epic comeback, etc, then you'll be surprised by this story. It does, however, provide a hauntingly spot on portrayal of what it's like for baseball players in Central America who are trying to make it to the major leagues. I have heard of none of these actors but they were all great in their roles. Too bad more people won't see this movie because of it's limited release.
