Set in 1950s Texas, the film focuses on the true-life story of five Mexican-American youths who triumph against all odds while overcoming adversity, prejudice and periodic self-doubts in their pursuit of a Texas State High School Golf Championship trophy. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Jay Hernandez stars as JB Pe\u00f1a, a WWII vet who takes a job as superintendent of San Felipe High School in Del Rio, not so much to succeed in academia as to be near the Del Rio Country Club, where he hopes to improve his golf game. Trouble is, despite a strong recommendation from his former commanding officer, Frank Mitchell (Dennis Quaid), the club\u2019s golf pro, JB is rejected for membership because, as the club director bluntly explains, other members \u201care just not used to seeing a Mexican on the golf course.\u201d If JB plays there, it will have to be as Frank\u2019s guest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Actually, the only people of color to be seen on the grounds are Pollo (Cheech Marin), a sage groundskeeper who protects himself from stray balls by wearing a cage-like suit, and five Mexican-Americans teens \u2014 Joe (Julian Works), Gene (Gregory Diaz IV), Felipe (Miguel Angel Garcia), Mario (Christian Gallegos) and Lupe (Jos\u00e9 Juli\u00e1n) \u2014 who work as caddies. It\u2019s not much better beyond the country club, as most of the white folks in Del Rio come across as condescending at best, racist at worst. The sign in front of a local business pretty much sums up the prevailing attitude of the community: \u201cNo Dogs. No Mexicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But when JB notices that the five caddies have developed a talent for the game while competing at a one-hole course they\u2019ve improvised for themselves on an unattended stretch of public land, he figures that, hey, maybe what San Filipe High really needs is a student golf team, the San Felipe Mustangs. And he should be their coach \u2014 with a little help from Frank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Working from a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> he adapted with Paco Farias and Jennifer Stetson from the book \u201cMustang Miracle\u201d by Humberto G. Garcia, director Julio Quintana (\u201cBlue Miracle\u201d) doesn\u2019t shy away from clich\u00e9s and conventions, especially when it comes to depicting the racism of whites who range from snooty to hillbilly, and peppering the dialogue with sports movie adages. (\u201cLife is a lot like golf. Some days, it\u2019s smooth sailing on the fairway; other days, you\u2019re lost in the woods.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But he and his fine cast infuse even the hokiest moments in \u201cThe Long Game\u201d with a disarming sincerity, so that, while there\u2019s never any serious doubt about what will happen when the qualifying <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of golf tournaments concludes for the Mustangs, the young underdogs \u2014 and their grown-up allies \u2014 consistently generate rooting interest on and off the fairway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Quintana, who started his career by working with Terrence Malick on \u201cThe Tree of Life\u201d and \u201cTo the Wonder,\u201d gets splendid work from DP Alex Quintana, his brother, and production designer Carlos Osorio, both of whom greatly enhance the film\u2019s period flavor (which is strong enough to withstand a few minor intrusive anachronisms).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Julian Works is the standout among the Mustangs, to a large degree because his character is the only one of the youths who has more than two dimensions. (The other Latino teens are equally well-cast, but they are given much less to do.) To that end, it helps that Works\u2019 Joe has scenes where he interacts with an angrily disapproving father (Jimmy Gonzalez), and romances a lovely classmate (a beguiling Paulina Ch\u00e1vez) with literary ambitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Hernandez is low-key and credible as JB develops mentor-pupil relationships with the Mustangs, and maintains a loving and supportive rapport with his wife Lucy (Jaina Lee Ortiz). Quaid strikes the perfect balance of twinkly-eyed mischievousness and grizzled seriousness, with a side order of wartime trauma, while Marin skillfully offsets his welcome comic relief as Pollo notes that, if you\u2019re not white, fighting for your country does not guarantee acceptance in a segregated postwar society. Maybe you\u2019ll have to win a few golf tournaments first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
