Murderball

Everyone should see Murderball. A documentary about quadriplegic rugby somehow managed to be a comedy, drama, and classic sports movie all-in-one, with no cloying sentimentality. I really hope this movie takes off so that people can maybe take one quick moment to think about perceptions of people with disabilities. Hmm. That sounded sort of condescending, but I think the movie provides a really good context for thinking about that sort of thing.

The filmmakers did a really good job of framing the movie as well. There are several threads, not all directly related to the main "plot," and there's a moment at the end that ties up one of the threads that left my moviegoing companion and I completely gob-smacked. Go see the movie.
