42

Det är en väl genomarbetad film där man inte bara speglar sportvärlden utan även resten av samhället och dess invånares reaktioner.

Wisely choosing to skip a more established name and find the right man for the part, the filmmakers found Chadwick Boseman, a TV and film bit player with an athlete’s frame...

...a long overdue, serious big-screen biopic about one of the most important American pioneers of the 20th century.

...delivers a powerful story, adding one more crucial piece to the puzzle that is American history.

Handsomely shot in a perpetually honeyed light, 42 never once understates the mythic allure baseball holds in America...
