Hustle (2022 Jeremiah Zagar)

The definitive basketball film, though you wouldn't know that from the title. It is soon evident why there are three editors working on this - for the record, Tom Costain, Kelko Deguchi and Brian Robinson. Adam Sandler is the coach, Queen Latifah his wife, Juancho Hernangomez the discovery and Ben Foster as the vile manager (Leave No Trace, Hell or High Water). With Kenny Smith, Jordan Hull, Robert Duvall.

DP Zak Mulligan.

What can I say? It's all very impressive, I'm sure. Best moment: the daughter suggests staging a live basketball challenge and it goes viral. Oh, and the champ's rest day - his beloved daughter from Spain is there in the hotel pool - he leaps straight in to greet her.
