I gave a high rating because of the very low (and unfair) ratings here. This may not be a masterpiece but it is a really good-feel movie, that makes you smile throughout. Also, as loosely based on a true story, it made me go on Wikipedia to read about the real events, real people, as well as culture and history of the (American) Samoa people. Fassbender was a surprisingly good choice, as a European coach that did not immediately connect or understand the zen culture of the Samoans. And I loved the Samoan Haka at the end, absolutely wonderful. Really very enjoyable, and perfect for our family outing on 26 December.
