For Your Consideration: “Hoop Dreams”
Movie Review: “Hoop Dreams”
By Marcus Flewellen
Directed by Steve James
Don’t let the film’s 2 hr 51 min running time deter you; this 1994 Oscar-winning documentary is engrossing, fast-paced and heartbreaking. “Hoop Dreams” tells the story of two high-school basketball players with dreams of making it to the NBA. Director Steve James takes his time telling the story, but it’s worth it. “Hoops Dreams” is currently available on DVD and it’s streaming for free on Hulu.com.
3.5 out of 4 stars.
