Rookie (2023)

In una scuola cattolica in cui le suore non vogliono una squadra di basket femminile perché "questo sport rende le ragazze gay", una nuova studentessa si innamora di un nuovo sport, la pallavolo, e della sua compagna di squadra. Un film bellissimo che con delicatezza e in modo spensierato, mette sotto i riflettori temi importanti come le molestie sessuali e la chiusura mentale, ma senza mai diventare pesante grazie a momenti teneri e allegri che bilanciano il tutto. Grazie a questa miscela, lo spettatore non staccherà mai gli occhi dalla scena, sentendosi coinvolto in questo emozionante percorso di crescita che fa appassionare sia alla protagonista che a tutto il team.

An okay movie to kill some free time

It's a sport-themed high school GL. Although the film doesn't focus heavily on sports, the developing relationship between two players serves as an important subplot. As they navigate the challenges of sports, school, and personal struggles, their feelings for each other deepen, leading to tender moments and heartfelt confessions. The romance between the two players adds a layer of sweetness and vulnerability to the story.

This film addresses the critical issue of sexual harassment within women's sports, a topic that deserves significant attention. While this film manages to highlights the concern, it doesn't quite provide a tidy resolution to the issue. The absence of proper action against it might be a deliberate choice by the director, but it somehow leaves me with a sense of unease, as the characters' struggles with harassment are not fully resolved.

While this movie has good story, the character development is underwhelming. Although the main characters are likable and relatable, their growth throughout the film feels limited. Despite the intriguing premise and the potential for emotional depth, the movie's ending is predictable. Overall, it is a pleasant movie.
