By 2008, more than 25 percent of major league baseball players were born in Latin America. At 19, Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a serious kid from the Dominican Republic, signs with Kansas City. He flies to Phoenix for tryouts and is sent to the Class A team "The Swing" in the fictional town of Bridgetown, Iowa, where he lives with a farm family. Thus begins his odyssey: leaving his mom and girlfriend; living in an alien culture; learning English; overcoming jitters; working hard; achieving early success; navigating friendships, occasional racism, and a woman's mixed signals; dealing with an injury; trying performance-enhancing drugs; and, searching for his place in the world. Will he make it to the Majors; will he play in New York?
Leave your thoughts about Sugar.
| USA TodayClaudia PuigSugar is that sweetest of films: A sensitive and memorable story that surprises at every turn. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiThey have instead chosen a low-key and realistic approach that is so effective that when I saw the film for the first time, I was convinced for the first 10 minutes or so that I was watching an actual documentary. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesDominican natives pursue their diamond dreams in the U.S. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsA compelling and compassionate stranger-in-a-strange-land drama, it's a film brimming with insight, integrity and life. I reckon we're looking at one of the films of 2009. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThis one slice of the American experience amounts to one of the best films of the year. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBrilliantly directed, superbly written and thoroughly engaging drama that skilfully blends sports movies, immigration dramas and coming of age movies, while avoiding the usual cliches. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussSugar is a completely convincing character who inhabits what appears to be an utterly authentic world. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonA terrific film that's not just for sports fans. Written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, it's as insightful as it is entertaining. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldA sports movie that transcends its genre. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrIn its unhurried fashion, Sugar can take its place with the best baseball movies. Where most focus on the grand slam, this one's about the life that surrounds the game and everything that comes after. |
