Hoop It Up

About This Movie

Hoop It Up is an interesting take on the classic underdog sports narrative. It dives into the life of So-eun, a high-school girl whose passion for basketball clashes with the reality of her situation. The pacing is gentle, almost reflective, allowing the viewer to really feel So-eun's struggles and her yearning to play the game she loves. I found the rural backdrop adds a unique touch, contrasting the typically urban setting of sports dramas. The performances, while not from big names, bring an authenticity that resonates well. It’s more about personal growth and friendship than just basketball, which gives it a distinct flavor. There’s a certain charm in its simplicity; it feels raw, and the atmosphere is quite heartfelt.
