Alex & Me

Director Eric Stoltz constructs a familiar underdog sports narrative but explores it through the lens of a child's imaginative resilience. The film relies on the charming dynamic between the young protagonist and her fantastical idol to drive its message about hard work and self-belief.

Those who tire of overly complex plots will find a straightforward, heartwarming tale. What lingers after the credits is a simple, uplifting reminder of the power of perseverance and family. — MovieFinder Editorial
