debuted on Netflix early last year, but it has an even greater resonance in quarantine. After all, its characters spend the tight 90-minute runtime figuring out what to do with themselves when their typical avenues of business have been shut down by forces beyond their control. Even, who stars as charismatic NBA agent Ray Burke, sees the comparison — the actor recently revealed that he's considering making a follow-up movie about what NBA players are doing during quarantine.
Just as COVID-19 has awakened many people to the truth of what is actually essential in day-to-day life and what isn’t, Ray decides that the lockout presents an opening to disrupt the NBA owners’ monopoly on professional basketball — what his old mentor Spencer smartly describes as “the game on top of the game.
McCraney’s screenplay can reach profound heights but also has plenty of room for fun character bits . The superb cast, which also includesas Ray’s protegee trying to make a name for herself in this world of cutthroat cloakrooms, are more than qualified of making such dialogue as entertaining as any physical action.
There has been much discussion since quarantine started about whether one should use this time to work on creative projects, or simply focus on relaxing and ensuring safety. The answer is different for everyone, of course, but those tempted to the creative path can take a lot of artistic inspiration from, which Soderbergh shot himself entirely through iPhone cameras.
