Game 6

About This Movie

Game 6 is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, set against the backdrop of the 1986 World Series. It dives into the life of a playwright who, instead of attending his own opening night, opts to be glued to the game instead. The film captures that tension of personal ambition against the allure of a historic moment, weaving in real-life stakes with fictional narrative. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, reflective of the chaotic nature of life and the game itself. The performances are solid, with a certain charm that evokes the nostalgia of the era. It’s a neat exploration of how our passions can sometimes pull us away from our responsibilities, all wrapped in a nostalgic atmosphere.
