From the director of The Conspirator and The Horse Whisperer
Devastated by his experiences during World War I, once-promising golfer Rannulph Junuh has become a poker-playing alcoholic whose perfect swing is gone — until mysterious caddy Bagger Vance enters the picture to help Junuh make a comeback.
Ok, tearjerker, but still, the pacing of the editing, the contemplation mixed with the suspense of the game, the tranquil voice-over of Will Smith making you feel the elements and the serenity of control, convincing Matt Damon as an eternally surprised golfer, this flows in a pleasant way, sometimes going overboard with sentimental violins, the feel-good spirit of the town, this is a movie about hope and dreams. Convincing portrayal of the passion for golf, makes you want to go out on the green and feel it for yourself.
