RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
annuskavdpol Jeremy Lin is Linsanity. He seemed to be this silent hero in America. His laid back character and nothingness seemed to contribute to our day and age. Within the film shots of this story, there seemed to be a story within a story. Was this movie about Jeremy Lin or was it about basketball or the American Dream or was this whole story about God? Was Jeremy Lin mentally ill or selfish? Was his euphoric state of zoning while he was winning on the basketball court nothing more than a hallucination in the waking sense and was he not only thinking about himself versus the whole team when he prayed to God and let God take over in what Jeremy Lin mentioned as an out of body experience. Is not God to help all team members and opponents and do we not live a life where selflessness versus selfishness is considered to be more holy? Jeremy Lin seemed to lose himself in a religious trance on the basketball court however was the game about Jeremy as an individual or as player in Gods Master Plan? If Jeremy Lin perceives himself merely a player in God's Master Plan for him, does that mean he is merely a puppet and God pulling the strings? Would it not be more human to combine God with self so that man has a say in his own unique narrative? An independent journey laced with divinity.
dulcettanne This movie is done brilliantly. It perfectly captures the spirit and essence of both the story behind Jeremy Lin and Linsanity. This movie really warmed my heart and made my tear up many times when I imagined the pain and heartbreak Jeremy had to suffer through to make his dreams come true. It is not a fairytale story but a real story that is still being written in the stars. It is a story that inspires, encourages, and challenges the viewers to take charge of their own lives. This is the type of movie you can take anyone to watch: your significant other, your kids, your family. Everyone of all ages will love watching this movie. I just want to take the time to thank God that we were blessed enough to witness the rise of Linsanity, but more importantly, the rise of a boy with a dream and a powerful drive. I really recommend watching this movie, it was absolutely lincredible!
Whitman Lam I watched it with my brother and his wife (Who will be expecting their first baby next month). We are avid basketball fans, so we knew the story, but this gave us a better glimpse into who he is, rather than the media icon he has become. It was truly inspiring, and proof that heroes can come out of anywhere, even Harvard. I just wish there was more footage of NY Knicks fans screaming their heads off. It was a little different than your usual movie with big budgets, this was very low budget and looked that way. The home video scenes were nicely done. The interviews were interesting, but I wish they had more sides to the story, like interviewing opponents after Jeremy Lin had beaten them. Also wish they would interview more girls (Some of whom were absolutely gone crazy for Jeremy.)
David De Leon "Linsanity" is an actual word, except no one has the actual definition. The most common terminology may be "the awesome feeling of Jeremy Lin winning the ultimate basketball game". My father and I loved watching basketball games together. This is the story of Jeremy Lin's love for this sport and the reality of getting into the NBA. Jeremy Lin is a man of faith and expresses it to us in this documentary. Director Evan Leong stated at the Sundance Q&A the film started out only as a web series and turned into something greater. The story starts with his game against the LA Lakers facing off the legendary LeBron James. Those of us who know Jeremy Lin will already predict the end result but even find a deeper understanding of this incredible player. Leong did a fantastic job bringing this player to life. My only complaint would be the large amount of archival footage and him playing basketball and NBA games. We see that on TV all the time when there needed to be more of knowing him as a character. Great job from the entire team and I hope you get this film for the world to see.
