Fastpitch

It's such high sports drama you'd swear this documentary is fiction.

Has an unusual intimacy and lack of condescension.

Marvelously entertaining.

Intelligent, insightful, touching.

Spear's portrait of unpaid, passionate fastpitchers could give filmmakers of all budgets a notion of how real Americans speak.

An engaging look at what baseball might have been like in the era before big money, with players who love the game struggling to survive.
