Sinekatalog’s take
A fiercely determined father maps out a future for his two daughters before they have swung a racket in earnest. The performance is warm and stubborn, and the film shows ambition as both gift and burden. A rousing sports drama with real family feeling.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
