One of the best sports movies ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2004)

A terrific film. No phony Hollywood stuff. It feels like real life. The performances are terrific. The camera work is absolutely great. Although I felt maybe it was a bit too shaky in the first 15 minutes or so.
The story is very clear and interesting.
The editing is maybe a bit too frantic to start with.
I would have liked a bit more context I think. Why is football so important to these people? What sort of world do they live in? Are there good jobs to go to after grad? What is the town economy based on? That sort of thing.
But overall, I've rented Any Given Sunday several times. I will buy Friday Night Lights. Good work!
