“As a tenured professor of film studies at NYU, Lee is appropriately reverential of the source material while also still a big enough goofball to pour tons of fun Spike stuff on top of it. The director’s hallmarks are all here: gravity-defying dolly shots; the swelling, horn-heavy score out of a 1940s melodrama; at least five endings; and incessant sports-related tomfoolery.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 08/14/2025
