[This is a repost of my review from the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.Fighting with My Familyis now in theaters.] The sports movie is almost a relic at this point. These days, a sports film is more likely to be something that deals with the business of sports (e.g.Moneyball,Draft Day) than an athlete hoping to reach their dreams. In that way,Stephen Merchant’sFighting with My Familyis almost a charming throwback. Based on a true story, Merchant’s film doesn’t attempt to upend any tropes of the genre....

It’s among the most consistent compliments paid by collaborators, employees, friends, rivals, and even enemies:Walt Disneywas a master storyteller. As an animator, director, and most of all as a producer, he originated or adapted some of the most beloved tales of Western culture for the cinema, the results often being taken as definitive versions of whatever yarn he took up. (A live-actionThe Little MermaidstarringHalle BaileyandMelissa McCarthysails into theaters this month.) But for all his talent in that area, there were stories that, for one reason or another, defied Walt’s efforts....

Kathleen Kennedyhas been a controversial figure as head of Lucasfilm as anyone would be if they were in charge of overseeing a massive franchise likeStar Wars. And yet it’s hard to argue that she hasn’t been moderately successful in that role.The Force Awakenswas the jolt the franchise needed after the disappointing prequels, andThe Last Jediis a truly great film that challenged fans rather than just giving them what they wanted.

Besides his towering presence and deep silken voice, the 57 year-old, probably still best known for playing Morpheus inThe Matrixseries, took a lot of inspiration from his old man.
