Sugar (5/5) is arguably the best baseball movie ever made, not because it features spine-tingling feats of heroism or salty repartee, but because it intimately contextualizes both the game and the men who play it. Indeed, Miguel “Sugar” Santos is a Dominican pitching prospect, who arrives in the U.S. with hopes of big-league stardom, but soon finds the linguistic isolation and the intense pressure of minor league life hard to bear. Thus co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck flesh out a character of quiet, compelling depth; in doing so, moreover, they bring to light a story that is seldom heard.
