Didn't see that coming

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2015)

If you have a movie that at first sight is about an athlete and his (olympic) dreams, you kind of can guess where the movie goes. And even though there are a few things that you can predict, there's a lot left unsaid and a lot more that might surprise you (especially if you aren't aware of the real life incidents that occurred, something that can be said about me).
So while this is overcoming the odds, it is also about struggling and living in a world that is not that appreciated, not having much of a family to back you up (or a mother that might push you to do certain things, although everyone is responsible for their own actions of course). The dynamic between the actors is really good and you might have problems recognizing Carrell. Also some nice interviews on the disc about the making of the movie
