Did you know
- TriviaIn March of 1921, the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment voted to form a country club which became the San Felipe Country Club. The San Felipe Country Club included a nine-hole golf course that is located on the San Felipe Springs. This was the first course built by John Bredemus who went on to design many notable courses such as the Colonial in Fort Worth, TX. In 2016, the City of Del Rio took over the golf course and renamed it to the San Felipe Springs Golf Course.
- GoofsWhen JB Peña first meets Principal Guerra in the parking lot, Guerra asks if he has any ideas for improving the high school's reading scores. Texas did not begin statewide testing for reading, writing, and math until 1979.
Featured review
Just love it
I am a non-golfer.
I never played, and I never will.
It is from my point of view not a real sport.
Like pool, snooker it is a boring ball game, not enough physical and mental action, no real confrontations. I prefer sports like Tennis, or better football (soccer for you US people)
But the movie is not. It is about passionate young and elder people, trying to find their way through the obstacles mostly unfair of life.
It has a lot of very very nice, emotionally intelligent little scenes about wisdom and effect of our decisions and actions.
I can't emphasize enough how well these scenes are made.
So many characters well drawn. The director Julio Quintana born in the USA after her parents left Cuba shows he feels how Mexican immigrants felt. Not anymore Mexicans and yet not real Americans.
No-man's-land..
I specially liked the symbolism in the scene were a golfers girlfriend explains how she intends to become a writer by already writing now shorts stories of peoples daily life. Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation.
Actors are all great, but I fell for Jaina Lee Ortiz.
It is a men sports, is it not still today?
She is not even mentioned on the cover, standing far in the back.
What a shame, She did not have too many words to say, so she made her presence mainly by her very subtle body and face expressions. Nevertheless she played a strong female character.
She has great potential, and I hope we see more of her anytime soon.
