Confusing film. Pacino delivers a fine performance as a celebrated coach, and that says it all.

Excellent film about the sudden end of a decades-long and highly successful career of a football coach. A true story in which the coach fails in his moral duty to report child abuse to the proper authorities. The film shows how the family dealt with this behind closed doors. Al Pacino is excellent as always.
Quite a topical film, given the whole situation surrounding The Voice and Ajax at the moment.

Mediocre.
There is nothing to criticize regarding the content. The case is harrowing and the figures involved are vile. The film is a clear account of that case. However, it is not cinematically interesting, which is no surprise in itself with Barry Levinson at the helm. It looks downright dull and grey, which stands in the way of a higher score. Al Pacino and Riley Keough in the lead roles are precise.
