Screwball

About This Movie

Screwball dives deep into the murky waters of baseball's doping crisis, but it’s not just your usual talking heads and archive footage. The film cleverly employs a mix of reenactments and animated sequences to bring the scandal to life, which gives it this offbeat tone that's both engaging and a bit surreal. The pacing is tight, keeping you invested as it unravels the layers of deceit surrounding A-Rod and his dubious mentor. You get this sense of a high-stakes game not just on the field but in the shadows of the sport. Themes of ambition, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of success resonate throughout, making it quite a distinctive watch in the sports doc genre.
