(First of all, if you haven’t heard the version of “Heavenly Father” by Bon Iver and the Staves featured in the trailer, you should check it out here.)  The real redemptive story doesn’t always come from winning the big game in a sports based film.  Sometimes, the most redemptive part of a good story is someone winning their life back.  This one, from the director/producer who brought us Warrior is similarly raw and satisfying.  Not for the kids, mostly for language.
